Collect Of The Day: 05/01/2025

Having risen from sleep, I thank You, O Holy Trinity, because through Your great goodness and longsuffering You have not been angry with me, an idler and a sinner, nor have You destroyed me in my iniquities. But rather You have shown me Your customary love for mankind and roused me, as I lay in despair, to rise in the morning and to glorify Your might. And now, enlighten the eyes of my mind and open my mouth to meditate on Your words, to understand Your commandments, and to do Your will, to sing to You with confession of heart, and to praise Your all-holy name, of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, now and forever, and to the ages of ages. AMEN.
