O ALMIGHTY God, look graciously upon this household gathered together in Thy name: Give them whom Thou hast set over it wisdom to direct those committed to their charge; give to its members strength to fulfill Thy will in the daily work to which Thou hast appointed them; grant that love and peace, with all other graces, may live and grow among us; and that finally we may meet before Thy throne in heaven, and be united in Thy love forever; 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.78).
