Let Us Pray

O Lord Jesus Christ, Who hast said: “Ask and ye shall receive; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you”; grant, we beseech Thee, to us who ask, the gift of Thy most Divine Love, that we may ever love Thee with all our heart, and in all our words and actions, and never cease from praising Thee.

Make us, O Lord, to have both a perpetual fear and love of Thy holy name, for Thou never failest to govern those whom Thou foundest upon the strength of Thy love, Who livest and reignest, world without end. Amen.
