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
