Sentence

Collect

God of hosts,
who called Ambrose from the governor's throne
to be a bishop in your Church,
and an intrepid champion of your faithful people:
mercifully grant that, as he did not fear to rebuke rulers,
so we, with like courage,
   may contend for the faith we have received
; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord
who is alive and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.           [CoW*]
