O Lord Jesus Christ, who said, ‘Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you’; grant, we beseech you, to us your supplicants, the gifts of your most divine love, that we may love you with our whole heart, and in all our words and works, and never cease from praising you.

O Lord, give us a perpetual fear as well as love of your holy Name, for you never cease to govern those you founded upon the strength of your love. You who live and reign for ever and ever. Amen.
