Collect for the week:
Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ did fast forty days in the wilderness, and was tempted as we are, yet without sin; give us grace to discipline ourselves in obedience to thy Spirit; and, as thou knowest our weakness, so may we know thy power to save; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
