 thy Son; who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Preface of Lent

Third Sunday in Lent

Almighty God, who seest that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and  inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all  adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil  thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus  Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the  Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Preface of Lent

Fourth Sunday in Lent

Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which giveth life to the  world: Evermore give us this bread, that he may live in us,  and we in him; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the  Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Preface of Lent

Fifth Sunday in Lent

O Almighty God, who alone canst order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men: Grant unto thy people that they may  love the thing which thou commandest, and desire that  which thou dost promise; that so, among the sundry and  manifold changes of the world, our hearts may surely there  be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus  Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the  Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
