St. Alban

First Martyr of Great Britain
Wednesday 22 June 2022

COLLECT:
Eternal Father,
when the gospel of Christ first came to our land
you gloriously confirmed the faith of Alban
by making him the first to win a martyr’s crown:
grant that, following his example,
in the fellowship of the saints
we may worship you, the living God,
and give true witness to Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

ALBAN PRAYER:
Among the roses of the martyrs brightly shines Saint Alban.

Almighty God,
We thank you for this place built to your glory
and in memory of Alban, our first martyr.
Following his example in the fellowship of the saints,
may we worship and adore the true and living God,
and be faithful witnesses to the Christ,
who is alive and reigns, now and for ever.
Amen

Pray for us Alban, pray for us all Saints of God.
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
