We thank you for thy servant Augustine, whom you called to preach the Gospel to the people of England...

Collect for the Memorial of Saint Augustine of Canterbury (May 27).
Almighty and everlasting God, we thank thee for thy servant Augustine, whom thou didst call to preach the Gospel to the people of England. Raise up, we beseech thee, in this and every land evangelists and heralds of thy kingdom, that thy Church may proclaim the unsearchable riches of our Savior Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
