Antiphon for Magnificat:
The householder saith unto the labourers, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. Go ye also into the vineyard: and whatsoever is right, I will give you.
–An excerpt from The Brotherhood Prayer Book, corresponding with this Sunday’s Gospel reading: Matthew 20:1-16.

Collect: O Lord, we beseech Thee: favorably to hear the prayers of Thy people, that we, who are justly punished for our offenses, may be mercifully delivered by Thy goodness, for the glory of Thy name; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost: ever one God, world without end. Amen.
