in the way of thy commandments, We beseech thee, hear us.
That thou wouldst make us obedient to thy inspirations,
That thou wouldst teach us to pray, and thyself pray within us,
That thou wouldst clothe us with love and compassion towards our brethren,
That thou wouldst inspire us with a horror of evil,
That thou wouldst direct us in the practice of good,
That thou wouldst give us the grace of all virtues,
That thou wouldst cause us to persevere in justice,
That thou wouldst be thyself our everlasting reward,
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,
Spare us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,
Graciously hear us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,
Have mercy on us.
Christ hear us.
Christ graciously hear us.
V. Create in us a clean heart, O God.
R. And renew a right spirit within us.
Let us pray.
Grant, O merciful Father, that thy divine Spirit may en- lighten, inflame, and cleanse our hearts ; that he may pene- trate us with his heavenly dew, and make us fruitful in good works. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
