O LORD, make ready the way in the dark lands, in the hearts which know Thee not; that those who, consecrated to the fulfilling of Thy last command, are carrying the message of the cross to the souls of men, may, constantly aided and uplifted by Thee, labor to the enriching of Thy great harvest; Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.76).
