Prayer for Grace

[Give me ] to put aside every weight, and the sin that doth so easily beset us; all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, lust‑of the flesh, of the eyes, pride of life, every motion, of flesh and spirit alienated from the will of Thy sanctity: to be poor in spirit, that I have a portion in the kingdom of heaven; to mourn, that I be comforted; to be , that I inherit the earth; to hunger and thirst for , that I be filled; to be pitiful, that I be pitied; to be pure in heart, that I see God; to be a peace‑maker that I be called the son of God; to be prepared for persecutions and revilings for ’ sake, that my reward be in heaven,— all this, grant to me, O Lord.
