Cranmer's Collects

Cranmer’s Collects are short, focused prayers from the Anglican tradition, crafted by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer during the Reformation. They are meant to be used during church services to help congregants express specific themes of worship, such as gratitude, repentance, or seeking guidance. Each Collect is carefully written to summarize the congregation’s intentions in a single, poetic prayer, often addressing God directly. These prayers are valued for their clarity, depth, and musical quality, helping worshippers reflect on core spiritual truths and connect more personally with the divine during worship.
