Collect for St. Bede the
Venerable in the Old English liturgical books:
"By the intercession of Thy blessed confessor Bede, fill us with joy, O
Lord our God, for Thou hast granted us to progress by his fatherly
teaching, and to rejoice in his blessed, solemn feast. Through our Lord
Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity
of the Holy Spirit, God through all the ages of ages.
Amen." --- From the Old Sarum Rite Missal, (c) 1998 St.
Hilarion Press, due to be republished in 2007 by St. John Cassian Press.
