For Grace to Praise God 4

CHRIST the Lord, Whose holy name is as ointment poured out: Grant, we beseech Thee, that the ointment of Thy head may be poured down by Thee, so as to descend on the beard of Thy people, and come to the very edge of the garment of this mortal life; Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.  (Oremus, 1925, p.36-37).

For Illumination 4

GRANT, O Lord, we beseech Thee, that we, may be illuminated by Thee the Light, directed by Thee the Way, corrected by Thee the Truth, quickened by Thee the Life; who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.33).

Adoration 3

To Jesus, the Life of our flesh, Who quickeneth Whom He willeth:  To Jesus, the Life of our soul, Who came that we might live more abundantly:  To Jesus, the Life of His Church, Who loved her and gave Himself for her:  Let all in earth, and in Paradise, reconciled by His death, and saved by His life, give glory and honor, worship and praise, now and for evermore. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.22).

Love.

I love thee, O Father, Who didst give Thy Son for me. I love Thee, O Christ, Who on the cross didst die for me. (Oremus, 1925, p.23).

Secret Sins.

ALMIGHTY, Eternal God, through Whom that which is not beginneth to be, and that which is hidden is made manifest: Cleanse the folly of our hearts and purify us of those vices which are secret, so that we may be able to serve Thee, O Lord, with a pure mind; 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.51).

For Deliverance from Temptation.

O LORD, I beseech Thee to renew me inwardly and outwardly, that as Thou wouldest not have me to be hindered by bodily pleasures, Thou mayest make me vigorous with spiritual purpose; and refresh me according to Thy pleasure by things transitory, that Thou mayest grant me rather to cling to things eternal; 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.52).

For Control of One’s Tongue 3.

WE beseech Thee, O Lord, that our human mouth being filled with Thy praise, we may ever think in our hearts of that which we offer Thee with acceptable voices; 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.50).

For Divine Guidance and Protection 5.

O OUR King and God, lead us in Thy righteousness because of our enemies, and direct our way in Thy sight, that Thou mayest ever rejoice and dwell in us who art crowned with the shield of Thy good will; 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.44).

For Consecration 2.

CAUSE us, O Lord, to become heirs of Thy testimonies, which have been made matter of belief unto us, let them be constantly in our thought, that: they may be sincerely held in true faith, and be so fulfilled in our work, that as they are uttered by the mouth they may guide us in sorrow with their comfort, and make us more ready to labor with 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.40).

To Love Righteousness.

GRANT, Lord, that we may love righteousness and hate iniquity, so that, advancing by Thee the Way, to Thee the End, we may be led by Thy wonderful right hand to the kingdom of eternal beauty; who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen  (Oremus, 1925, p.39).
