According to the Apostolic Penitentiary, a partial indulgence is granted to those who, on the feast of any Saint, recite in his honour the oration of the Missal or any other approved by legitimate Authority.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
Let us pray.
O God, source of all gifts, who didst raise up Thy Bishop Dunstan
to be a true shepherd of the flock, a restorer of monastic life and a trusted counsellor of kings, grant at his intercession, we pray, an abundance of Thy Spirit to all pastors, that with wisdom and truth they may offer worthy service to Christ and to his people.

Through Jesus Christ, Thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
R. Amen.
Nota bene ~ St Dunstan is not celebrated on the Universal Calendar, but according to the Martyrology, today is his Feast Day. The Collect is taken from his Commonwhere he is celebrated.
