[SIZE=14pt]Heavenly Father, who loves mankind and are most merciful and compassionate, have mercy upon Your servants, for whom we humbly pray and commend to Your gracious care and protection. Be their guide and guardian in all their endeavours, lead them in the path of Your truth, and draw them nearer to You, that they may lead a godly and righteous life in Your love and fear, doing Your will in all things. Give them grace that they may be temperate, industrious, diligent, devout, and charitable. Defend them against the assaults of the enemy, and grant them wisdom and strength to resist all temptation and corruption of this life, and direct them in the way of salvation: Through the merits of Your Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.[/SIZE]
