The Prayer Appointed for the Week

Most loving Father, whose will it is for us to give thanks for all things, to fear
nothing but the loss of you, and to cast all our care on you who cares for us:
Preserve me from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, that no clouds of this
mortal life may hide from me the light of that love which is immortal, and
which you have manifested to us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives
and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen. † |

Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought me in safety to this

be overcome by adversity; and in all I do direct me to the fulfilling of your purpose;
through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen. † |
