Prayers on behalf of the Mission.

-: 0:­

WE have sinned with our fathers, we have done amiss, and dealt wickedly. Wilt Thou not turn again, and quicken us, O Lord; That Thy people may rejoice in Thee?

Let us pray.

O Lord Jesu Christ, Thou Great Shepherd of the sheep, Who seekest those that are gone astray, bindest up those that are broken, and healest those that are sick; Bless, we beseech Thee, the efforts which Thy servants are making to convert souls unto Thee. Loosen the tongues of those who[ shall] speak in Thy Name; open the deaf ears of the wanderers, that they may hear the words which belong unto salvation; soften all prejudices; and grant that those whom Thou dost raise to newness of life may, through Thy Grace, persevere unto the end; Of Thy mercy, O our God, Who art blessed, and livest, and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost for ever and ever. Amen.

O Almighty God, Who, in Thy tender love towards mankind, didst send Thine Only- begotten Son to seek and to save that which was lost, bless the Mission in this place to the conversion of sinners, and to the strengthening of the faithful for the glory of Thy Great Name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Prayer for Use after a Mission.

Almighty God, Who, through Thine Only- begotten Son Jesu Christ, hast overcome death and opened unto us the gate of everlasting life: We humbly beseech Thee, that, as by Thy special Grace preventing us( in the late Mission), Thou hast put into our minds good desires, so, by Thy continual help, we may bring the same to good effect, and may with thankful hearts persevere in Thy love and service to our life's end: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
