Christmas
O God, to whom glory is sung in the highest, while on earth peace is
proclaimed among men of goodwill; grant that same goodwill to us Thy
servants; cleanse us from evil, and give peace to all Thy people;
through Thy mercy, O blessed Lord God, who dost live and govern all
things, world without end. Amen.
—Mozarabic Liturgy
For Rightful Recognition of God, “The Giver of All Good Things”
O God, who, by making the evening to succeed the day, hast bestowed the
gift of repose on human weakness, grant, we beseech Thee, that while we
enjoy those timely blessings we may acknowledge Him from whom they come,
even Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
—Mozarabic Liturgy
For Sanctification
O Christ our God, who wilt come to judge the world in the manhood which
Thou hast assumed, we pray Thee to sanctify us wholly, that in the day
of Thy coming our whole spirit, soul, and body may so revive to a fresh
life in Thee, that we may live and reign with Thee for ever, to Thine
honour and glory; who with the Father and the Holy Spirit liveth and
reigneth, ever one God. Amen.
—Mozarabic Liturgy
Repentance
Let Thy Spirit, O Lord, come into the midst of us, and washing us with
the pure water of repentance, prepare us to be always a living sacrifice
unto Thee; who livest and reignest, ever world without end. Amen.
—Mozarabic Liturgy
For Direction
May the infinite and glorious Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Ghost, direct our life in good works, and after our passage through this
world, grant to us eternal rest with the righteous. Grant this, O
Eternal and Almighty God. Amen.
—Mozarabic Liturgy
For the Sick and Suffering
O Christ our Lord, who art the Physician of salvation, grant unto all
who are sick the aid of heavenly healing. Look upon all faithful people
who are sick and who love to call upon Thy name, and take their souls
into Thy keeping, and vouchsafe to deliver them from all sickness and
infirmity; through Jesus Christ. Amen.
—Mozarabic Liturgy
For New Year
O Thou who art ever the same, grant us so to pass through the coming
year with faithful hearts, that we may be able in all things to please
Thy loving eyes; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
