Almighty God,
in your providence you chose your servant Patrick
to be the apostle of the Irish people,
to bring those who were wandering in darkness and error
to the true light and knowledge of your Word:
Grant that walking in that light
we may come at last to the light of everlasting life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Collect Two for St. Patrick's Day CofI BCP 2004
Éist linn, a Dhia róthrócairigh
ar son an chuid sin den Eaglais
a bhunaigh tú inár dtír
trí do sheirbhíseach Pádraig;
go raibh greim daingean aici ar an chreideamh a tugadh
do na naoimh,
agus ag an deireadh go dtuga sí toradh fónta chun na beatha síoraí;
trí Íosa Críost ár dTiarna.
Ortha a Dó (Collect Two)
