Prayer: Grant, Almighty God, as in all ages the blindness of mankind has been so great as to lead them to worship Thee erroneously and superstitiously, and since they manifest such duplicity and pride as to despise Thy name and also worship the very idols they have fashioned for themselves:
Grant, I pray Thee, that true piety may be deeply rooted in our hearts.
May the fear of Thy name be so engraved within us that we may be sincerely and unreservedly devoted to Thee.
May each of us heartily desire to glorify Thy name, and many we endeavor to lead our brethren in the same course.
Do Thou purge us more and more from all dissimulation, until at length we arrive at that perfect purity that is laid up for us in heaven, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
