Prayer Intention

Sacred Heart Parish

December

 Spiritual AM/PM

O God of truth, O Lord of might, Who orderest time and change aright, And send’st the early morning ray, And light’st the glow of perfect day: Extinguish thou each sinful fire, And banish every ill desire; And while thou keep’st the body whole, Shed forth thy peace upon the soul.

Before the ending of the day, Creator of the world we pray That with thy wonted favor thou Wouldst be our guard and keeper now. From all ill dreams defend our eyes, From nightly fears and fantasies; Treat underfoot our ghostly foe, that no pollution we may know.  O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ, thine only son; who with the Holy Ghost and thee, Doth live and reign eternally. Amen.
