Our Lord Jesus Christ. R. Amen

O almighty and most merciful Creator, who, to refresh thy thirsting people in the desert, didst command streams of water to flow from the barren rock ; draw, we beseech thee, from our arid eyes and hardened hearts, tears of true compunction, that we may detest sin, and only thirst after the glorious vision of thee, our God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

R. Amen
