"Most holy and ever-loving God, we thank you that human enemies cannot overcome those who follow your commands and put their trust in you. We thank you also that the weakness of our faith and our frail courage and despondency do not hinder you from showing us your salvation and protecting us. And we give you praise and thanksgiving in the name of your Son, Jesus. Amen."

Amen."

"Eternal and most merciful Father, we your children bow before you with singleness and sincerity of heart. Grant that the ordinary experiences of today may be filled with yourself. If it be your will to send into our lives the unexpected and extraordinary, will you give to us the spirit of response and the eye to behold your glory, that we may honor you. In Christ's name. Amen."
