Almighty
God, you have built your Church upon the foundation of the apostles and
prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone: Grant us so
to be joined together in unity of spirit by their teaching, that we may
be made a holy temple acceptable to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever
and ever. Amen.
O Lord,
make us have perpetual love and reverence for your holy Name, for you
never fail to help and govern those whom you have set upon the sure
foundation of your loving kindness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and
ever. Amen.
Keep, O Lord, your household the Church in
your steadfast faith and love, that through your grace we may proclaim
your truth with boldness, and minister your justice with compassion; for
the sake of our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and
the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
