A Collect is simply a prayer meant to gather the intentions of the people and the focus of worship into a succinct prayer. Collects generally fit a pattern that Archbishop Thomas Cranmer developed in the first Book of Common Prayer (1549): An address to God, a Request, an invocation and doxology, and finally, the Amen.
