For Control of One’s Tongue.

O CHRIST, Son of the living God, Who for our sakes wast made the Bread of the universe: Grant that we may never be led away by the temptation of our enemy, but may follow Thee in the true government of our tongue; through the Same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.49-50).

For Control of One’s Tongue 3.

LET our lips be firm in Thee, O Lord, with the tidings of Truth, that they may never be loosed in the vain speech of error; and may ever speak Thy glory and may never cry aloud in the unseemly disputes of quarrelling; that as Thy martyr and forerunner, John the Baptist, did unswervingly herald Thy coming, so we may ever speak to Thy praise; Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen  (Oremus, 1925, p.50).

For Prudence.

LET wisdom, we beseech Thee, O Lord, open our mouth, and let prudence dwell on our tongue: and to the end we may not be compared to the beasts that perish, instruct us in the discipline of Thy Divine laws, that so our understanding may comprehend Thee on earth, and may enjoy Thee forever in heaven; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen  (Oremus, 1925, p.49).

For Obedience.

MAKE us of quick and tender conscience, O Lord; that understanding, we may obey every word of Thine, and discerning, may follow every suggestion of Thine indwelling Spirit; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen  (Oremus, 1925, p.49).

Against a Froward Heart.

WE sing of mercy and judgment unto Thee, 0 Lord, our Savior and Judge, help us with the one, warn us with the other; on that side is the light of pity, on this the rule of inquiry; grant us Thy humble servants, O Lord, that a froward heart may not cleave to us, and that evil things before our eyes may not allure us; but that walking in the simplicity of innocence, Thou mayest lead us on in Thy pity and love, and absolve us as a truthful Judge; Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen  (Oremus, 1925, p.48-49).

To Rejoice in Other Men’s Success.

ALMIGHTY God, give me the power and grace to rejoice over other men’s brightness and strength and success; through Him Who laid down His life for His friends, our Master Jesus Christ who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.  (Oremus, 1925, p.48).

Against Pride.

O LORD MOST HIGH, Who beholdest the lowly, grant us lowliness that we may please Thee, nor suffer pride to remain within us, which Thou throwest afar off and destroyest when near: that, of Thy mercy, the haughtiness which casteth down may depart from our mind, and contrition which bringeth glory may abide in our heart; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen  (Oremus, 1925, p.48).

For Meekness 2.

O GOD, mercifully grant us that the fire of Thy love may burn up in us all things that displease Thee, and make us meet for Thy heavenly Kingdom; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen  (Oremus, 1925, p.47-48).

For Meekness.

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, grant that our wills be ever meekly subject to Thy will, and our hearts be ever honestly ready to serve Thee; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen  (Oremus, 1925, p.47).

For Purity of Heart.

O GOD, who lovest all that is sincere and pure, and dwellest of Thy bountiful goodness in the chaste souls of the faithful: Purify us from all taint of sin, that we may always have our heart ready for Thee, and sing and play worthily unto Thee in Thy glory; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen  (Oremus, 1925, p.42).
