The Fourth Sunday after Easter.

The Collect.

O ALMIGHTY God, who alone canst order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men; Grant unto thy people, that they may love the thing which thou commandest, and desire that which thou dost promise; that so, among the sundry and manifold changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed, where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

I love "Marse Robert" as they used to call him. Thanks for pointing out his Episcopal/Anglican background. He was so committed to the Lord, that the last five years of his life at Washington University in Lexington, Virginia were spent building the Chapel on campus (that now bears his name). George Washington was also an Anglican (and a Vestryman as well, I believe).
