Let us pray.

O God, to whom every heart is open, every wish speaketh, and from whom no secret is hid, purify the thoughts of our hearts by the infusion of the Holy Spirit, that we may merit to love thee perfectly, and to praise thee worthily.

Let the power of the Holy Ghost be with us, O Lord, we beseech thee, both graciously to purify our hearts, and to defend us from all adversities.

Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of the Church is sanctified and governed, hear the supplications that we make for every degree and order therein, that, by the gift of thy grace, they may all faithfully serve thee. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
