Collect for Trinity 13 / Holy Cross Day

Beginning with Vespers this evening, and until Matins next Saturday (excluding Holy Cross Day), the following collect may be prayed in the Daily Office:

Almighty and everlasting God, give to us the increase of faith, hope, and charity; and that we may obtain what You promise, make us love that which You command; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God now and forever.

On September 14th, the following collect may be used:

O God, on this day You gladden us with the yearly festival of the Holy Cross; grant, we beg You, that we, who on earth have known the mystery of the redemption accomplished for us by Your Son, may attain to its reward in heaven; through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
