ward them with the abundant riches of thy heavenly grace; We beseech thee to hear us. For all sick persons and young children, for all women in travail, and for every Christian soul in necessity, affliction, and calamity; for the fatherless and the widow; for all that are in chains and imprisonment; in captivity, banishment, and slavery; that thou wouldest make haste to help and deliver them. We beseech thee to hear us.

For those who mourn and sorrow for their sins, who are penitent, and cast down; that thou wouldest give them pardon and forgiveness, and preserve them in the ways of true repentance and peace;

We beseech thee to hear us.

For all who are in error, heresy, and schism; for the feebleminded and those who are gone out of the way, and for all the heathen; that thou wouldest convert and strengthen them, and bring them back, and unite them all to thy Holy Catholic Church;

We beseech thee to hear us.

For all who are absent; for our benefactors, and those who love us, for our enemies, and those who hate us; and those who have desired us unworthy to make mention of them in our prayers; that thou wouldest remember, and have mercy, and bless them all;

We beseech thee to hear us. For ourselves, and our little ones, (children,) and households; that we may have pardon and forgiveness of all our sins, and may lead the residue of our lives in repentance and peace; We beseech thee to hear us.

That thou wouldest bless the fruits of the earth, and crown the year with thy goodness; that we may have all such things as are needful for our bodies, and all such things as are good and profitable for our souls;

We beseech thee to hear us. That we may be delivered and preserved from the Evil One, and all his works; and may daily be renewed by the Holy Spirit; We beseech thee to hear us. That thou wouldest sanctify our souls and bodies and spirits; and keep us in the unity of the faith, and in the communion of the Holy Ghost;

We beseech thee to hear us.

That Christian peace, and the light of thy countenance may accompany us in our last hours; and that we may find mercy and favour, with all thy saints, who from the beginning have pleased thee in their generations; even with our fathers and forefathers, and with the patriarchs and prophets, apostles, martyrs, and confessors, teachers and saints, and with every just spirit departed in the faith of thy Christ, with whom may we rest in peace; and attain to a joyful resurrection, and eternal happiness in thy kingdom. We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord.

Lord, have mercy upon us.

Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.

Appropriate Psalm.-xvi.

The Prayer.

Ps.

MOST Merciful and Blessed Lord God, enable us,

thy humble servants, on this Holy Day to enter in thought and affection into the awful sanctuary of the grave of thy dear Son. That as we have followed him in heart and mind, step by step through his passion and most precious death, so we being buried with him may live a life dead unto the world and all its vanities. Strengthen our faith, confirm our hopes, and fill us with heavenly charity, that when our bodies shall lie down in their bed of darkness, our souls may pass into the regions of light; for his sake, who descended into hell, and vanquished death and the spirits of darkness, and hath taken away the sting of death, even Jesus Christ our Lord and only Saviour. Amen.
