We are in Communion with the Continental Old Catholics, so a commemoration of St Willbrord seems apt today.
Collect:
"O Lord our God, you call whom you will and send them where you choose:
We thank you for sending your servant Willibrord to be an apostle to the
Low Countries, to turn them from the worship of idols to serve you, the
living God; and we entreat you to preserve us from the temptation to
exchange the perfect freedom of your service for servitude to false gods
and to idols of our own devising; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and
ever. Amen. "
