us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us
from evil. Amen.

Neither reward us according to our
iniquities.
Let us pray.
O GOD, merciful Father, who despisest not the sighing of a contrite heart, nor the
desire of such as are sorrowful; Mercifully assist our prayers which we make
before thee in all our troubles and adversities, whensoever
they oppress us; and graciously hear us, that those evils which the craft and
subtilty of the devil or man worketh against us, may, by thy good providence,
be brought to nought; that we thy servants, being
hurt by no persecutions, may evermore give thanks unto thee in thy holy Church;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
