O Lord, who didst call thy servant Clement of Alexandria from the errors of ancient philosophy that he might learn and teach the saving Gospel of Christ: Turn thy Church from the conceits of worldly wisdom and, by the Spirit of truth, guide it into all truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
St Clement was martyred by being thrown into the sea weighed down by an anchor, so he became a patron of sailors. Churches dedicated to him are often found by the sea, and in places associated with the Vikings, such as St Clement Danes in London https://t.co/R23adfmG3e pic.twitter.com/BPf51FlDQW
