Feria VI Quatuor Temporum Quadragesimae - Lent Ember Friday Collect

This collect for Lenten Ember Friday asks God to be 'gracious unto thy people' and 'help them by thy kind assistance.' The Friday fast, commemorating Christ's Passion, receives special emphasis in Lent. The collect balances the severity of penitential discipline with confidence in divine mercy and assistance.

LATINE
Esto, Domine, propitius plebi tuae: et, quam tibi facis esse devotam, benigno refove miseratus auxilio. Per Dominum.
ENGLISH
Be gracious unto thy people, O Lord, and as thou makest them devoted to thee, in thy mercy help them by thy kind assistance. Through our Lord.
