CONSIDER and hear us, O Lord: assist our timid efforts, give the end of the act, Thou Who didst give the beginning of the will: grant that we may be able to accomplish the thing which Thou hast already granted that we should desire to commence; 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).
