In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

O Lord, open our lips.
And our mouths shall declare your praise.
O God, incline unto our aid.
O Lord, make haste to help us.

Let us adore the Lord of glory.
Let us adore the God of our salvation.

We come before you, Lord, with humble hearts,
to offer you our prayer and praise.
Open our minds to your word
and our hearts to your grace,

and the good of all your Church.
