God, the Protector of all those who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy; increase and multiply on us your mercy; that you being our Ruler and Guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal. Grant this, heavenly Father, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Collect on the Fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday
