Lord, give us grace to inaugurate with holy fasting the defenses of Christian warfare, so that we who are to fight against spiritual wickedness, may be helped and strengthened by self-denial; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
¶ Or this:
O God of infinite mercy, grant that we who know thy compassion may rejoice in thy forgiveness and gladly forgive others for the sake of Jesus Christ our Saviour, who liveth and reigneth with with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God now and for ever. Amen.
