The Second Prayer of the Faithful*
Priest:
O God, who in mercy and compassion hast
visited our lowliness; Who appointed us, Thy
humble, and sinful, and unworthy servants to
minister at thy holy altar in the presence of Thy
holy glory: Do Thou strengthen us by Thy Holy
Spirit for this service, and grant us speech in the
opening of our mouth, with which to invoke the
grace of Thy Holy Spirit upon the gifts that we
desire to offer.
When a priest serveth alone these are not said:
Deacon only:
For the peace from above, and the salvation of our souls,
let us pray to the Lord.
For the peace of the whole world, the good estate of the holy churches of
God, and the union of all, let us pray to the Lord.
For this holy temple, and for them that with faith, reverence, and the fear
of God enter herein, let us pray to the Lord.
That we may be delivered from all tribulation, wrath, and necessity, let
us pray to the Lord
