Prayer at the end of the Introductory Rites, directly after the Gloria in Excelsis Deo.
Said by the celebrant at the altar just before leaving the altar for the Readings.
The text varies each Sunday. It is found in the altar missal, marked with a green ribbon.
During the Collect, servers should bow at "Jesus Christ".

Let us pray.
Amen.
