Pretende Domine et famulis et famulabus tuis dexteram celestis auxilii ut te toto corde propinquant atque digne postulationes assequantur. Deus a quo sancta desideria recta consilia et justa sunt opera, da servis tuis illam quam mundus dare non potest pacem ut et corda nostra mandatis tuis et hostium ublata formidine tempora sint tua protectione tranquilla. Ure igne sancti spiritus renes nostros et cor nostrum, Domine, ut tibi corde casto serviamus et mundo corpore placeamus. TRANSLATION That it may please Thee to keep the apostolic lord (_i.e._ the Pope) and all ranks of the Church in Thy holy religion. _O Lord, we beseech Thee, hear us._ That it may please Thee to keep our bishop, and the flock committed to him. That it may please Thee to give to our king and our princes (or chief lords), peace, and true concord, and victory. That it may please Thee to keep our bishops and abbots, and the congregations committed to them, in holy religion. That it may please Thee to keep the congregations of all saints in Thy holy service. That it may please Thee to keep the whole Christian people with Thy precious blood. That it may please Thee to requite all our benefactors with everlasting blessings. That it may please Thee to preserve our souls and the souls of our kindred from eternal damnation. That it may please Thee that Thou wouldest lift up our hearts to heavenly desires. That it may please Thee to make the obedience of our service reasonable. That it may please Thee to visit and to comfort this place, and all who dwell in it. That it may please Thee to give and preserve the fruits of the earth. That it may please Thee to restrain the enemies of the Holy Church of God. That it may please Thee to look upon us with eyes of mercy. That it may please Thee to behold and relieve the miseries of the poor and the prisoners. That it may please Thee to give eternal peace to all the faithful departed. That it may please Thee to hear us. Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world. _Spare us, O Lord._ Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world. _Hear us, O Lord._ Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world. _Have mercy on us, O Lord._ O God, whose property it is always to pity and to spare, receive our supplications, and by the mercy of Thy fatherly love, loose those whom the chain of their sins keeps bound, through Jesus Christ our Lord. O Lord, receive with indulgence the prayers of Thy Church, that all adversities being overcome, it may serve Thee in freedom without fear. Almighty, Eternal God, who alone doest great wonders, grant to Thy servant our bishop, and to all the congregations committed to him, the healthful spirit of Thy grace; and that they may please Thee in truth, pour out upon them the perpetual dew of Thy blessing.
