Commemoration
Sentence
Collect
God of all the earth,
who called your servant Francis Xavier
and rejoiced to see him preach your gospel
among the outcasts of India
and the warriors of Japan:
kindle our hearts with your truth,
that we may give the whole of our lives
to the working of your will and purpose;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
