Occasional Prayers

Eternal Father, who wouldest make the Church of thy dear Son a city great and fair, the joy of the whole earth: We beseech thee, by the sending of thy Holy Spirit, to direct its counsels in all manner of wisdom, love, and might. Remove perplexity, establish concord, kindle flame; and gather a people single and strong of faith, to the praise of him who with thee and the same Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, world without end.
