Prayer

Guide us, O Lord our God, and teach us to walk in Your ways with righteousness; preserve our life in peace, and our conduct according to Your pleasure. Direct the spiritual and bodily course of Your servants along this blameless way into eternal life. Through the grace of Your Only-begotten, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who became for us the guide of life and the hope of salvation; with whom You are blessed, O almighty Father, together with the life-giving and liberating Holy Spirit, now and always and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
