Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, you
know our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have compassion
on our weakness, and mercifully give us those things which for our unworthiness
we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask;
through the worthiness of your Son Jesus Christ
our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
for ever. Amen.
Book of Common Prayer
