O God, merciful Father, who despisest not
the sighing of the contrite, nor rejectest the
desire of the sorrowful: be favorable to our
prayers which in our afflictions that continu-
ally oppress us, we pour out before Thee;
and graciously hear them, that those things
which the craft of the devil or man worketh
against us, may be brought to nought, and
by the counsel of Thy goodness be dispersed;
so that being hurt by no persecutions, we
may evermore give thanks unto Thee in Thy
holy Church, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

O God, from whom all holy desires, all
good counsels, and all just works do proceed:
give unto Thy servants that peace which the
world cannot give; that our hearts may be
set to obey Thy commandments, and also
that we, being defended from the fear of our
enemies, may by Thy protection pass our
time in peace and quietness, through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
