Prayer for Thursday.

IN the break of day I will arise in the Name of God. Lord Jesus, let Thy passion and death be my rod and my staff. Beloved Jesus, Lord, Thy blood, Thy wounds defend me this day and always. Help, that the fiends of hell, whom Thou hast overcome and bound, be and remain imprisoned this day and evermore, that they obtain no power over me. Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ, Almighty and True Light, the source whence cometh all other light; that of the sun and of the day; Light that enlightenest all men that are born into the world; Light, by which all things become bright and glorious; Eternal Wisdom of the Father, unto Thee I cry. Enlighten my heart that I, being blind to all else, may behold only what is well pleasing to Thee, and abide in Thy paths, desiring and loving none other. O Lord, enlighten mine eyes that I sleep not the sleep of death, and mine enemy rejoice that he has overcome me; Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, true God, world without end. Amen. The Lord’s Prayer. The Creed. Psalm 5. The Gloria Patri. (Pages 325-326)
