Collect
Attend, O Lord, upon our supplications, which we offer to thee on the solemnity of blessed Maximus, thy Confessor: that we who put no trust in our own righteousness, may be holpen by the prayers of him who was well-pleasing unto thee. 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.
