Lord, you have taught usthat all our doings without love are nothing worth:send your Holy Spiritand pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of love,the true bond of peace and of all virtues,without which whoever lives is counted dead before you.Grant this for your only Son Jesus Christ’s sake,who is alive and reigns with you,in the unity of the Holy Spirit,one God, now and for ever.Amen
O God,the strength of all those who put their trust in you,<a></a>mercifully accept our prayersand, because through the weakness of our mortal naturewe can do no good thing without you,grant us the help of your grace,that in the keeping of your commandmentswe may please you both in will and deed;through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,who is alive and reigns with you,in the unity of the Holy Spirit,one God, now and for ever.Amen
