TENTH WEEK AFTER TRINITY

Father, you reveal your almighty power chiefly by showing mercy and compassion. Pour out your grace upon us that we may walk in the way of your commandments, pursue your promises, and enjoy your heavenly blessings. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.


ELEVENTH WEEK AFTER TRINITY

Almighty and eternal Father, you are always more ready to hear than we are to pray, and ready to give us more than we ask or deserve. Pour down on us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things which we are not worthy to ask, save for the merits of your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.


TWELFTH WEEK AFTER TRINITY

Father, you reveal your almighty power chiefly by showing mercy and compassion. Pour out your grace upon us that we may walk in the way of your commandments, pursue your promises, and enjoy your heavenly blessings. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.


THIRTEENTH WEEK AFTER TRINITY

Merciful Father, increase within us the virtues of faith, hope, and love, and lead us to love what you command so that we may obtain what you have promised to your faithful ones through the ministry and love of Jesus, your only-begotten Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.


FOURTEENTH WEEK AFTER TRINITY

Father, ever gracious and kind, preserve your church with your inexhaustible mercy; and, because without you our mortal flesh can only fail, keep from us all things hurtful, and lead us towards those things that are beneficial for our salvation. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.


FIFTEENTH WEEK AFTER TRINITY

In your continual mercy, Father, purify your Church; and, since we cannot walk through this life in safety without your defense, preserve us evermore in your goodness and love. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.


SIXTEENTH WEEK AFTER TRINITY

Father, we pray that your grace may always go before and follow after us, that we may always be ready to do the good works which you have prepared for us through your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.


SEVENTEENTH WEEK AFTER TRINITY

Father, give your people the strength to withstand the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil, that with pure hearts and undivided minds, we may walk in the footsteps of your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.


EIGHTEENTH WEEK AFTER TRINITY

Father, direct our hearts by the working of your grace, for without your Spirit, we are unable to please you. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
