Opening Prayer
O God,
who teach us that you abide
in hearts that are just and true,
grant that we may be so fashioned
by your grace
as to become a dwelling pleasing to you.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

which is pledged to us by your love. Through Christ our Lord.
