Septuagesima-2013

{Because Lent is earlier this year I completely missed the change into the Pre-Lenten season. Disregard the previous post & use this one for the 27th of January 2013}

The Sunday called Septuagesima, or the third Sunday before Lent.

The Collect.

O LORD, we beseech thee favourably to hear the prayers of thy people; that we, who are justly punished for our offences, may be mercifully delivered by thy goodness, for the glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Saviour, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
