Liturgical Season

The current liturgical season is Trinitytide. It begins with Trinity Sunday, one week after Whitsunday (Pentecost). Trinity Sunday celebrates the great doctrine of God's existence as one God in three persons--Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

The collects on this page will be updated periodically throughout the Trinity season.

Trinity is the longest season of the church year, lasting throughout the summer and fall until the first Sunday of Advent. Its liturgical color is green, symbolizing growth.

Collect for Trinity Sunday

Almighty and everlasting God, who hast given unto us thy servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of the Divine Majesty to worship the Unity; We beseech thee that thou wouldest keep us stedfast in this faith, and evermore defend us from all adversities, who livest and reignest, one God, world without end. Amen.

Collect for the first Sunday after Trinity

O God, the strength of all those who put their trust in thee; Mercifully accept our prayers; and because, through the weakness of our mortal nature, we can do no good thing without thee, grant us the help of thy grace, that in keeping thy commandments we may please thee, both in will and deed; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Collect for the fourth Sunday after Trinity

O God, the protector of all that trust in thee, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy; Increase and multiply upon us thy mercy; that, thou being our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal. Grant this, O heavenly Father, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Collect for the sixth Sunday after Trinity

O God, who hast prepared for those who love thee such good things as pass man’s understanding; Pour into our hearts such love toward thee, that we, loving thee above all things, may obtain thy promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
