Let us pray.
Almighty and everlasting God, direct our actions by thy good will, that, in the name of thy beloved Son, we may merit to abound in good works.
O God, the height of the lowly, and the strength of the upright, who by thine only-begotten Son hast vouchsafed so to teach the world, that every action of his should be made our instruction; stir up in us the fervour of thy Spirit, that we may be able effectually to imitate, what by word and example he savingly taught.
O God, from whom all good things proceed, grant to thy suppliants, by thy inspiration to think right thoughts, and by thy guidance to accomplish them. Through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
