Appendix

We may conclude this section with the following few prayers:

Almighty God, unto Whom all hearts be open, all desires known, and from Whom no secrets are hid; cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of Thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love Thee, and worthily magnify Thy Holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

*****

Oh Lord Christ, we Thy faithful soldiers dedicate this new-born day to Thee, praying that it may shine in Thy service as a pure pearl in the chaplet of our life, oh Thou Great King of Love, to Whom be praise and adoration for evermore. Amen.

*****

Teach us, oh lord, to see Thy life in all men and in all the peoples of Thine Earth, and so guide the nations into the understanding of Thy laws that peace and goodwill may reign upon earth; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

*****

To the most Holy and adorable Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Three Persons in One God; to Christ our Lord, the Only Wise Counsellor, the Prince of Peace; to the Seven Mighty Spirits before the Throne; and to the glorious Assembly of just men made perfect, the Watchers, the Saints, the Holy Ones, be praise unceasing from every living creature; and honour, might and Glory, henceforth and for evermore. Amen.

*****

The Peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and Love of God, and of His Son, Christ our Lord; and the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be amongst you, and remain with you always. Amen.

*****

Amidst Thy encircling power I stand, on every side I find Thy hand, awake, asleep, at home, abroad, I am surrounded still with God.

Let these thoughts posses my breast wherever I roam, wherever I rest, let not my weaker passions dare, consent to sin, for God is there.
