Collect
May we be helped, O Lord, by the prayers of the blessed Apostle and Evangelist Matthew: that those things which we are not able to obtain by our own power, may be given us at his intercession. Through thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth God, world without end.
℟.Amen.
