4. Our daily bread.
All the aids necessary to body and soul, for obtaining grace, perseverance, and glory, of thy infinite goodness, vouchsafe mercifully to bestow upon us this day, and all the days of our life, as may be most for thy glory, according to thy will.
5. And forgive us.
Out of the infinite treasure of thy mercy, forgive us all the sins we have committed by thought, word, deed, and omission: all our ingratitude for thy many blessings; all the injuries we have inflicted on thee and our neighbours, as we too with our whole heart most fully forgive them all their offences; that, by being reconciled to our brethren, we may ourselves the more easily find grace in thy sight; but chiefly for the pure love of thee, who art infinitely to be loved with unwearied and constant efforts to the latest breath of our life.
6. And lead us not.
Let us never give way to any temptations of the world, the flesh, or the devil, but by thy power gloriously triumph over them all, now, always, and in the hour of death, that the increase of the glory of thy infinite power, wisdom, and goodness may the more clearly appear.
7. But deliver us.
Mercifully preserve and deliver us from all evils of body and soul, present and to come, as far as they may hinder or retard us in the attainment of perfection, perseverance, and salvation, and promotion of thy glory, that without impediment we may love and glorify thee more perfectly now, and more happily in eternity hereafter; and this not for our own benefit, so much as for the increase of thy glory.
Amen.
May what I ask be done, as thou wilt, when thou wilt, how thou wilt, through the bowels of thy mercy, the merits of thy Son, of his blessed Virgin Mother, and of all the saints. And oh, that all these holy desires might, if possible, be renewed by me and by all men, for the pure love of thee, most intensely, as is pleasing in thy sight, during every moment of this time of grace!
