Collect -

Almighty God, you have built your Church upon the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief
cornerstone: Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their
teaching, that we may be made a holy temple acceptable to you;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

(BCP - Pentecost 3 - Proper 8)
