We feel the burden of our weaknesses

But come together in your name

Show us the path to follow,

May you yourself accomplish what you ask of us,

May you be the one to inspire and guide our decisions

Because only you, together with God the Father and his son

Who have a holy and glorious name,

You who love order and peace,

Do not let righteousness be harmed by us,

May ignorance not cause us to stray from the right path,

Any affection for others not give rise to favouritism on our part

May neither titles nor people influence us,

Keep us close to you through the gift of your grace,

So that we may be one in you and that we may not draw away from the truth in any matter.

Grant that, gathered together in your holy name,

We may be able to combine goodness with firmness as to do all things in harmony with you.

In the hope that we shall earn, through the faithful fulfillment of our duties, eternal happiness in the future.
