I

Profession.

BELIEVE that, as a Great Mystery of
godliness,

for us men, and for our Salvation,
the Man Jesus,

the Son of the Father,

the anointed of the Spirit,

our Lord, both as Creator and Redeemer,
was God manifest in the flesh.

I believe in the gifts and graces of the Spirit, that He worketh efficaciously and manifestly, by illumination of knowledge, and infusion of grace,

in reproof, and teaching, and long-suffering, and assistance, and witnessing, and consolation.

Give me grace unceasingly to return thanks to Thy Word and only Son: as the Purifier of our nature, in His Conception and Nativity; the Liberator of our persons, in His Passion, Cross, and Death; the Victor over hell, in His Descent; over death, in His Resurrection; our Forerunner, in His Ascension;

our Advocate, in His Session;

the Finisher of our faith, in His Second Advent.

Who to our destroyer
opposes Himself as our Saviour,
to Abaddon, as Jesus;
to Satan, the adversary,

as our Mediator;

to the devil, the calumniator,

as our Advocate;

to the Accuser,

as our Intercessor;

to him that leadeth us captive,
as our Redeemer.

Prayer for Grace.

RANT that Christ Himself may be formed

GR

in us,

that we may be made conformable
to His image;

that when I am lukewarm in prayer, and stand in need of any grace, or of heavenly consolation, I may remember Thy appearance in the Presence of God and Thy Intercession; that when I am inflamed by passion and evil concupiscence,

I may bear in mind Thy tremendous
and fearful tribunal,

and that the last trumpet may ceaselessly

sound in mine ears.

Grant that for the sake of Thine Anointed, I may receive, O Father who anointest, Thine Anointing,

the grace that bringeth salvation, Thy unspeakable gift of the Holy Spirit, in saving compunction, and clearness of knowledge,

in fervent prayer and shedding abroad of love, in the witness of the Seal and of the Earnest.

Grant that I may never quench the Spirit, nor strive against Him, nor grieve Him, nor ever do despite to Him, O Lord.

Grant that we may be called in Thy Church, and being lively members thereof in desire and will,

as it is Catholic,

we may be partakers in the Communion; as it is holy,

of holy persons and holy things, of holy prayers and the holy Liturgy, to a confident belief in the remission of sins, and a hope of resurrection and translation unto life eternal.

Lord, increase my faith as a grain of
mustard-seed!

let it not be dead, nor temporary,
nor hypocritical;

but let it work through love, co-operate
with works, be the supplier of virtue,
conquer the world, and be most holy.

Intercession.

GOD of Truth, the Prince of Peace,
let there be peace and truth in our days;
let the multitude of them that believe

be of one heart and of one soul.

O Thou, that dost not break the bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax,

establish all them that stand in truth and grace,
restore them that are falling
through heresy or sin.

I beseech Thee, O Lord, of Thy mercy,
let Thine anger be turned away
from this city, and from this house,
for we have sinned against Thee.

Be Thou pleased favourably to regard this place, and all this land,

tempering justice with mercy.

Grant that I may love them that love me,
though I know them not;

and do Thou bring them, as me also,

into Thy heavenly kingdom,

and grant that I may shew them
the mercy of God,

by remembering them in my prayers; That I, with those for whom I have prayed, and those for whom I am in any way soever bound to pray,

and with all the people of God,

may have an entrance into Thy kingdom;
there to appear in righteousness,
and to be satisfied with glory.

Thanksgibing.

LESSED is the people, O Lord,
that can rejoice in Thee;

they shall walk in the light

of Thy countenance ;
their delight shall be daily, O Lord,
in Thy Name;

in Thy glory shall they make their boast. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless His Holy Name for ever. O magnify the Lord with me;

and let us exalt His Name together!

O come hither and hearken, all ye that fear God; and I will tell you what He hath done for my soul.

Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens ; and Thy glory above all the earth.

I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord,
with my whole heart,
