A collect is a short prayer usually said before the scripture readings in the western church liturgy.
"God of all creation, through your beloved Son Jesus Christ you have called all people to yourself. Grant that we may follow the example of Christ and his apostles by opening our arms, offering ourselves, and proclaiming the truth to our neighbors, and by carrying your good news across social borders, so that your salvation may be known among all peoples. All this we ask through Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen."
