Proper 5

Grant, O Lord, that the course of this world may be so peaceably ordered by your providence, that your Church may joyfully serve you in quiet confidence and godly peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Draft — AI-assisted research under editorial review.

One of the oldest prayers in the Anglican rite, this collect for Proper 5 descends from a Latin oration in the Verona Sacramentary, a seventh-century manuscript preserving fifth- and sixth-century Roman liturgy. It reaches us through the Sarum Missal and Cranmer's first Prayer Book of 1549.
