A Collect for Benedict of Nursia Monastic, 543 GRACIOUS GOD, whose service is perfect freedom and in whose Commandments, there is nothing harsh nor burdensome: Grant that we, with thy servant Benedict, may listen with willing hands, so that we might live peacefully with one another and with obedience in thy Word, Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, One God, Now and Forever, Indeed. AMEN
