 ''65. For the Answering of Prayer''

Almighty God, who hast promised to hear the petitions of those who ask in thy Son’s Name: We beseech thee mercifully  to incline thine ear to us who have now made our prayers and  supplications unto thee; and grant that those things which we  have faithfully asked according to thy will, may effectually be  obtained, to the relief of our necessity, and to the setting forth  of thy glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

66.  Before Receiving Communion

Be present, be present, O Jesus, our great High Priest, as you were present with your disciples, and be known to us in the  breaking of bread; who live and reign with the Father and  the Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.

67.  After Receiving Communion

O Lord Jesus Christ, who in a wonderful Sacrament hast left unto us a memorial of thy passion: Grant us, we beseech  thee, so to venerate the sacred mysteries of thy Body and  Blood, that we may ever perceive within ourselves the fruit of  thy redemption; who livest and reignest with the Father and  the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

68.  After Worship

Grant, we beseech thee, Almighty God, that the words which we have heard this day with our outward ears, may, through  thy grace, be so grafted inwardly in our hearts, that they may  bring forth in us the fruit of good living, to the honor and  praise of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
