O

LORD, who hast taught us that all our doings without charity are nothing worth; Send Thy Holy Ghost, and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of charity, the very bond of peace and of all virtues, without which whosoever liveth is counted dead before Thee. Grant this for Thine only Son Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.

GOD, who makest all things profitable to them that love Thee; Grant to our hearts an invincible power of love, that the desires which have been conceived by Thine inspiration may not be changed by any temptation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O

GOD, who so lovedst the world that Thou didst give Thine only-begotten Son to reconcile all things unto Thyself; Grant that, loving Thee above all things, we may love our friends in Thee, and our enemies for Thy sake; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For Increase in Faith, Hope, and Charity.

LMIGHTY and everlasting God, give unto us the increase of faith, hope, and charity; and, that we may obtain that which Thou dost promise, make us to love that which Thou dost command; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

HEA

For Deliverance from Temptation.

EAR us, O Lord our God, and separate the hearts of Thy faithful people from the wickedness of the world; that they who call Thee Lord with their own voice may not fall back into the service of the devil; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

ESUS, our Master, do Thou meet us while we

JES

walk in the way, and long to reach the heavenly country; so that following Thy light, we may keep the way of righteousness, and never wander away into the horrible darkness of this world's night, while Thou, who art the Way, the Truth, and the Life, art shining within us. Amen.

ORD, we beseech Thee, grant Thy people grace

to withstand the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil; and with pure hearts and minds to follow Thee, the only God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Against Spiritual Apathy.

GOD, the sovereign good of the soul, who requirest the hearts of all Thy children; Deliver us from all sloth in Thy work, all coldness in Thy cause; and grant that by looking unto Thee we may rekindle our love, and by waiting upon Thee may renew our strength; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For Patience.

LMIGHTY and everlasting God, the Creator of

A the ends of the earth, who givest power to the

faint, and strength to them that have no might; Look mercifully, we beseech Thee, on our low estate, and cause Thy grace to triumph in our weakness, that we may arise and follow in the way of righteousness those who by their faith and patience already inherit the promises; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For Purity.

LORD our eted for those that

ORD our God, great, eternal, wonderful in glory,

who keepest covenant and promises for those that love Thee with their whole heart; who art the life of all, the help of those that flee unto Thee, the hope of those who cry unto Thee; Cleanse us from our sins, secret and open, and from every thought displeasing to Thy goodness; cleanse our bodies and souls, our hearts and consciences, that with a pure heart and a clear soul, with perfect love and calm hope, we may venture confidently and fearlessly to pray unto Thee. Amen.

A

LMIGHTY Father, who hast given Thine only Son to die for our sins, and to rise again for our justification; Grant us so to put away the leaven of malice and wickedness, that we may always serve Thee in pureness of living and truth; through the merits of the same Thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A

For Heavenly-Mindedness.

LMIGHTY God, the former of our bodies and Father of our spirits, in whom we live, move, and have our being; Shed abroad Thy love in our hearts, we beseech Thee, and cause the comfort of Thy heavenly grace to abound in us, as the earnest and pledge of joys to come; that, casting away all anxious thought for the transitory things of this world, we may seek first Thy kingdom and righteousness, and labor only for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

RANT us, O Lord, not to mind earthly things, but to love things heavenly; and even now while we are placed among things that are passing away, to cleave to those that shall abide; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For Guidance.

GOD, by whom the meek are guided in judgment,

and light riseth up in darkness for the godly; Grant us, in all our doubts and uncertainties, the grace to ask what Thou wouldst have us to do; that the Spirit of wisdom may save us from all false choices, and that in Thy light we may see light, and in Thy straight path may not stumble; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O

GOD, the protector of all that trust in Thee, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy; Increase and multiply upon us Thy mercy; that, Thou being our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal. Grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ's sake our Lord. Amen.

For Diligence.

O GOD, who by the example of Thy dear Son hast

warned us that we shall work Thy works while it is day, before the night cometh, when no man can work; Keep us from sloth and idleness, and from the misuse of those talents which Thou hast committed to our trust. Enable us to perform the several duties of our state and calling with such care and diligence that our work may never be reproved in Thy sight; and forasmuch as the business of this life is apt to steal away our hearts from Thee, give us grace to remember that we have a Master in heaven, and to do everything in singleness of heart, as unto Thee and not unto men, that of Thee we may receive the reward of the inheritance which Thou hast promised in Thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

GOD, who art the continual defence and protec

tion of all who trust in Thee, and who hast ordained that we should eat bread in the sweat of our
