Let Us Pray.
O God, Who hast taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of Thy Holy Spirit, grant to us [pg 542] in the same spirit to relish what is right, and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Prevent our actions, we beseech Thee, O Lord, by Thy inspiration, and further them by Thy continual help: that every prayer and work of ours may begin from Thee, and by Thee be happily ended, through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the same spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
Preparatory Prayer.
