Almighty God, you alone can bring into order
the unruly wills and affections of sinners:
Grant your people grace to love what you
command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes
of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be
found; through 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
