May Increase in Numbers and Advance in Devotion ;

WE beseech Thee, Lord, in Thy compassion, to turn away from Thy people Thy wrath, which indeed we deserve for our sins, but which in our human frailty we cannot endure ; therefore em- brace us with that tenderness which Thou art wont to bestow on the unworthy ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Where this comes from

This page is part of PRYR’s public-domain library buildout from Ancient Collects and Other Prayers. OCR has been cleaned enough for reading, but high-value pages should still be proofed against the scan before app-native use.
