Occasional Prayers

O God, who by the blood of thy dear Son hast consecrated unto us a new and living way into the holiest of all: Grant unto us, we beseech thee, the assurance of thy mercy, and sanctify us by thy heavenly grace; that we, drawing near to thee with pure heart and undefiled conscience, may duly celebrate these holy mysteries and offer thee a sacrifice in righteousness; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
