GOD, Whose nature and property is ever to have mercy and to forgive, receive our humble petitions; and though we be tied and bound with the chain of our sins, yet let the pitifulness of Thy great mercy loose us; for the honour of Jesus Christ, our Mediator and Advocate. Amen.

ALMIGHTY God, Who hast knit together thine elect in one communion and fellowship, in the mystical body of Thy Son Christ our Lord; Grant us grace so to follow Thy blessed Saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those unspeakable joys, which Thou hast prepared for them that unfeignedly love Thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

ASSIST us mercifully, O Lord, in these our sup

plications and prayers, and dispose the way of Thy servants towards the attainment of everlasting salvation; that, among all the changes and chances of this mortal life they may ever be defended by Thy most gracious and ready help; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O God Who hearest the praises of Thine Angels in heaven, hear also their prayers for us whom Thou hast committed to their charge;

And save us.

May Angels and Archangels,
May Thrones and Dominions,
May Principalities and Powers,
May our guardian Angels,
May Cherubim and Seraphim,
May all orders of blessed spirits,

From all dangers,

Deliver us, O Lord, by the ministry of the Angels.

Pray for us.

From the snares of the devil,

From heresy and schism,

From plague, famine, and war,
From sudden death,

Deliver us,

O Lord.
