Prayers Ancient and Modern 01/25

Almighty and everlasting God, Who dost enkindle the flame of Thy love in the hearts of the saints, grant unto us the same faith and power of love; that, as we rejoice in their triumphs, we may profit by by their examples, through Jesus Christ our Lord—Amen.

O Thou, with Whom is the Fountain of Life, and without Whom we can do nothing; Whose grace is sufficient for us, and Whose strength is made perfect in weakness; abide in us, that we, keeping Thy commandments, may abide in Thy love; so shall our peace be as a river, and our righteousness as the waves of the sea; throughjesus Christ our Lord—Amen.
