This evening collect asks God, who already makes himself known through his people, to send the Spirit of love so that grace grows in shared life together. Its language echoes St Paul on the Spirit's manifestation in the church. The prayer entered Anglican worship through the 1979 American Prayer Book, drawing on a Victorian compilation of ancient liturgical texts.
