From gluttony, drunkenness, and the false liberty of an undisciplined life, Deliver England, O Lord. We sinners,

Beseech thee, hear us. That it may please thee to hasten the conversion of this our miserable country, and reunite it to the ancient faith and communion of thy Church, That it may please thee particularly to have mercy on our relations, friends, and benefactors, and open their eyes to see the beauty of thy truth, and embrace it,

That it may please thee to comfort and strengthen thy servants, who suffer for the Catholic faith, That it may please thee not to permit the weakest of us, by any temptation whatsoever, to fall away from thee and thy truth, That it may please thee to assist with thy special grace those good pastors who venture their lives for their flock,

That it may please thee daily to augment in them the fire of thy love and the zeal of gaining souls, That it may please thee to preserve the Catholics of this land from all sin and scandal,

That it may please thee so to adorn their lives with solid piety, that others, seeing their good works, may glorify thee our hea venly Father,

That it may please thee to enlighten the hearts of

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, Spare us, O Lord.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, Graciously hear us, O Lord. Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, Have mercy on us.

Christ hear us.

Christ graciously hear us.
Let us pray.

Almighty and everlasting God, whose judgments are righteous and counsels unsearchable; who visitest the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation, and yet at length rememberest mercy; forgive, we beseech thee, the sins of our forefathers, and turn away thy wrath from their posterity: deliver the ignorant from being seduced by false teachers, and the learned from being abused by their passions, and the whole nation from the spirit of contradiction, licentiousness, and discord; that instead of so many divisions and changes in

gion, under which they labour, they may be again restored to that unity of mind, steadiness of faith, and tranquillity of conscience, which is no where

to be sought but in the con munion of thy Church, no possible to be found but by the conduct of thy grace. Through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
