The Prayer before the Lord's prayer
Priest:
O, our God, the God of salvation, do Thou
teach us how we may worthily give thanks unto
Thee for Thy benefits, through which Thou hast
dealt and dealest with us. Having accepted these
Gifts, O our God, do Thou purify us from every
defilement of flesh and spirit, teach us to achieve
holiness in Thy fear, that we, receiving a portion of
Thy Holy Things in the witness of a pure
conscience toward Thee, mayest be made one with
the holy Body and blood of Thy Christ; and that
having received them worthily, we may have Christ
abiding in our hearts and mayest become a temple
of Thy Holy Spirit.
