GOD, the Giver of peace and Lover of charity, grant to Thy servants true concord and union with Thy holy will, that we may be delivered from all temptations which assault us.

ERCIFULLY hear, O Lord, we beseech Thee, the prayers of Thy Church: that all adversities and errors being done away, we may serve Thee with a pure and undisturbed devotion.

O God, our refuge and strength (p. 752).

ALMIGHTY God, despise not Thy people who cry unto Thee in their affliction; but, for the glory of Thy name, turn away Thine anger, and help us in our tribulations.

RANT, we beseech Thee, O Lord, an answer to our hearty supplications; and Thy wrath being appeased, turn away from us this famine (or pestilence), that the hearts of men may know that these scourges proceed from Thine anger, and cease by Thy mercy.
