Three Prayers
ARMENIAN LITURGY
Thou who didst spread thy creating arms to the stars, strengthen our arms with power to intercede when we lift up our hands unto thee.
LITURGY OF MALABAR
With expectation have I awaited the Body and Blood of Christ the Lord upon his holy altar. Let us all offer it with fear and praise, crying with the angels "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Our God."
The poor shall eat, and be satisfied with the Body and Blood of Christ set forth upon this holy altar. Let us all offer it with fear and praise, crying with the angels "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Our God."
May all glory be given to the ever-glorious Trinity, world without end; and may Christ who was sacrificed as an oblation for our salvation and has commanded that we should offer sacrifice in memory of his Passion, Death and Resurrection, receive this sacrifice from our hands through his grace and love.
ROMAN CATHOLIC ANGLICAN USE
O HOLY Ghost the Lord, who on Pentecost gavest the Church the gift of tongues that Christ might be known, loved and served by peoples of divers nations and customs: watch over the Anglican heritage within thy Church, we pray thee, that, led by thy guidance and strengthened by thy grace, that Use may find such favour in thy sight that its people may increase both in holiness and number, and so show forth thy glory; who livest and reignest with the Father and the Son, one God, world without end. Amen.
