Prayer for the Church

O God, the most gracious Maker and most merciful
Redeemer of mankind, who, when man, by envy of the devil,
was cast down from Eternal Life, did redeem him with the
Blood of your only Son: Give life to your servants, whose
death you in no wise desire; and as you did not leave them
when they went astray, so do you receive them when they are
brought back. Let the sorrowful sighings of your servants move
your pity. Heal their wounds. Extend your saving hand to the
prostrate, lest your Church should be despoiled of any portion
of her body, lest your flock should suffer loss, lest those who
were born again to the salutary waters should be possessed
by the second death. Spare those who confess, that in this
mortal life they may, by your help, so mourn over their sins,
that in the day of dreadful Judgment they may escape the
sentence of eternal damnation, and may know neither the
terrors of the darkness nor the fury of the flame, and that,
having returned from the path of error to the way of
righteousness, they may be pierced with no more wounds, but
may retain, in fullness and perpetually, both what your grace
has vouchsafed and what your mercy has restored: Through
the same Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns
with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, eternally. Amen.
