O Lord our God, Who ever calls us to walk in Your way and to live by Your Word, grant that we might conduct ourselves always in a way acceptable to You in harmony with Your will. Help us to measure the deeds we do by our devotion to the present and our dedication to the future. Give to us the determination to right the wrongs we have done to others and supply us with the charity to forgive those who have wronged us. Enlighten our lives with Your truths, enlarge our motives with Your directing and enlist us in the struggle to travel at all times the path of Him Whose Name is to be praised "from the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same".
