The Collect -
We give you thanks, O Lord our God, for your
goodness in bestowing upon this Church the gift of the episcopate,
which we celebrate in this remembrance of the consecration of Samuel
Seabury; and we pray that, joined together in unity with our bishops,
and nourished by your holy Sacraments, we may proclaim the Gospel of
redemption with apostolic zeal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for
ever. Amen.
