Saturday of the First Week of Lent

23 February 2013

Today is the Memorial of St. Polycarp of Smyrna. A link has been added to the right with information about this saint.

Collect:
God of all creation, who were pleased to give the Bishop Saint Polycarp a place in the company of the Martyrs, grant, through his intercession, that sharing with him in the chalice of Christ, we may rise through the Holy Spirit to eternal life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Readings of the Day:
Deuteronomy 26:16-19
