8 Benedictine prayer
The Morning Office
Preparation
Come Holy Spirit of God, sent from heaven; shine in me and help
me as I pray.
Come, Father of the poor and needy; giver of all good gifts, draw
ne ar.
Jesus, Saviour, Light of the World, my life is held with you in God;
forgive my many sins...... Speak words of grace to this heart that
comes in faith to you. Amen.^107
Blessed are you, Lord God of Israel, for ever and ever. Yours is the
greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the
majesty, for all that is in heaven and on earth is yours; yours is the
kingdom, Lord, and you are exalted as head above all. Both riches and
honour come from you, and you reign over all; in your hand is power
and might; it is in your hand to make great and give strength to all.
Now therefore, my God, I thank you and praise your glorious
name.^108
