A Prayer for the Feast Day of Hugh of Lincoln and Robert Grosseteste

Holy God, our greatest treasure, who didst bless Hugh and Robert, Bishops of Lincoln, with wise and cheerful boldness for the proclamation of thy Word to rich and poor alike: Grant that all who minister in thy Name may serve with diligence, discipline and humility, fearing nothing but the loss of thee and drawing all to thee through Jesus Christ our Savior; who liveth and reigneth with thee in the communion of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

    Another “Lordless” re-write of an earlier collect. Combining St. Hugh with Robert Grosseteste makes some sense, granted. I do wonder: what do the revisers of our worship think we are being saved from, if we are praying “through Jesus Christ our Savior?” Do they think we are being saved from ignorance?
