Almighty God,
who has planted the Day-star in the heavens,
and, scattering the night,
dost restore morning to the world,
fill us, we beseech Thee, with Thy mercy,
so that, Thou being our Enlightener,
all the darkness of our sins may be dispersed,
through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thou, who art the eternal
protection and salvation of our souls, arm us, we entreat Thee, with the
helmet of hope, and the shield of Thy invincible defence; that so, helped
by Thee in the straits of our necessities, we may be filled with joy and
gladness with those who love Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
BREVIARY
God be in my head
And in my understanding.
God be in my mine eyes
And in my looking.
God be in my mouth
And in my speaking.
God be in my heart
And in my thinking,
God be at mine end
And at my departing.
PRIMER, 1527
O blessed Jesu, most mighty lion,
King immortal and most victorious, have mind of the sorrow that Thou sufferedst
when all the powers of Thine heart and body for feebleness failed Thee
utterly. And then Thou saidst, inclining Thine head thus: "It is all done."
For mind of thine anguish and sorrow, blessed Jesus, have mercy on me in
my last end.
