P. 16
He has mercy on those who fear Him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of His arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of His servant Israel
for He has remembered His promise of mercy,
the promise He made to our fathers,
to Abraham and His children for ever. (Luke 1:46-55)
O eternal God and Ruler of all creation, You have allowed me to
reach this hour. Forgive the sins I have committed this day by
word, deed or thought. Purify me, O Lord, from every spiritual
and physical stain. Grant that I may rise from this sleep to glorify
You by my deeds throughout my entire lifetime, and that I be
victorious over every spiritual and physical enemy. Deliver me, O
Lord, from all vain thoughts and from evil desires, for Yours is
the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever. Amen.
