"The Book of Common Prayer is a priceless possession of our Church. By its intrinsic merits, as a book designed for the reverent and seemly worship of Almighty God, it has endeared itself to generation after generation of devout Christians throughout the world" (Preface, vii).

The Common Prayer Canada app, developed by the Prayer Book Society of Canada (PBSC), introduces the 1962 Canadian Book of Common Prayer to a new audience.

The PBSC presents this valuable resource with "the hope that those who use it may become more truly what they already are: the People of God, that New Creation in Christ which finds its joy in adoration of the Creator and Redeemer of all" (Preface, vii).

ASSIST us mercifully, O Lord, in these our supplications and prayers, and dispose the way of thy servants towards the attainment of everlasting salvation; that, among all the changes and chances of this mortal life, they may ever be defended by thy most gracious and ready help; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (The Collect for the Rogation Days)
