Saint Basil the Great of Caesarea, Bishop in Cappadocia, Doctor

Almighty God, whose precepts are the wisdom of a loving  Father: Enable us, after the teaching and example of thy servant Saint Basil, to walk as one family in the excellent paths of obedience, that thy blessing my prosper the works of our hands, and thine ears be open unto our prayers; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

¶ Or this:

Grant, O Lord, that as through thy servant Basil thou hast  enabled thy Church to grow in the knowledge of thy Holy Spirit: So we may learn the hidden mysteries which through the selfsame Spirit, thou revealest, and speak them forth to others with his holy wisdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

¶ Or this:

Almighty God, who hast revealed to thy Church thine  eternal Being of glorious majesty and perfect love as one God in Trinity of Persons: Give us grace that, like thy bishop Basil of Caesarea, we may continue stedfast in the confession of this faith, and constant in our worship of thee, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen.

¶ Or this:

Almighty, everlasting God, whose servant Basil steadfastly  confessed thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ to be Very God and Very Man: Grant that we may hold fast to this faith, and evermore magnify his holy Name; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit ever, one God, world without end. Amen.
