O Lord, mercifully receive the prayers of Your people who call upon You, and grant that they may know and understand the things they ought to do, and also may have the grace and power faithfully to accomplish them; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
