Amen

Let us proclaim the name of the Lord;
And ascribe greatness to our God!

Lord your work is perfect.
And all your ways are just.
Let Your voice be heard today by all the nations!

O God, Judge of the nations,
Put fear into our hearts
So that we may know that we are only human.

Father, the whole of creation groans and labours
To be delivered from the bondage of corruption,
Into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Lord Jesus, send forth Your Spirit of Truth
And let this Spirit prove to ‘the powers that be’
How wrong they are about sin, righteousness and judgment.

O Lord, declare the power of your works to Your peoples
And let us be filled with the knowledge of Your glory
As the waters cover the sea.

Gather us O Lord in Your Name
And may all worship the One True God.
Amen.

Give us, Lord,
A lively faith, a firm hope,
A fervent charity, a love of you.

Take from us
All lukewarmness in meditation,
Dullness in prayer.

Give us fervor and delight
In thinking of you and your grace,
Your tender compassion towards me.

The things we pray for, Good Lord,
Give us grace to labor for:

Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Give me, O Lord,
A steadfast heart which no unworthy thought can drag downwards;
An unconquered heart which no tribulation can wear out;
An upright heart which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside.

Bestow upon me also, O Lord my God,
Understanding to know,
Diligence to seek you,
Wisdom to find you,
And a faithfulness that may finally embrace you;

Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

God our Father,
We are exceedingly frail and indisposed
To every virtuous and gallant undertaking.

Strengthen our weakness, we beseech you,
That we may do valiantly in this spiritual war.

Help us against our own negligence and cowardice,
And defend us from the treachery of our unfaithful hearts;

For Jesus Christ’s sake.
