New Testament Word and Imperative Verb Studies
Revised Common Lectionary, Year A
Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning:  Grant us so to hear them,
read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life,
which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.
The Collect for Proper 28, The Book of Common Prayer, 1976.
