PRAYER: Prayer For Sexagesima

Lord God, Heavenly Father, we thank you that you have sown your Blessed Word among us through your Son, Jesus Christ.

We beseech you that you would so prepare our hearts through your Holy Spirit that we would hear this Word with diligence, keep it in noble and good hearts, and with patience bring forth fruit.

Mercifully grant that we may not be choked by sins, but that by your merciful help we smother them.

In every kind of danger may your grace and eternal consolation hold us steady and give us sure comfort.

Amen.
