Prayers from St. Ambrose
For Protection
Be gracious to our prayers, O Merciful God, and gaurd Thy people with loving
protection; that they who confess Thine only begotten Son as God, born in our bodily
flesh, may never be corrupted by the deceits of the devil; through the same Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
For Trust and Fuller Knowledge
Merciful Lord, the Comforter and Teacher of Thy faithful people, increase in Thy
Church the desires of which Thou hast given, and confirm the hearts of those who hope in
Thee by enabling them to understand the depth of Thy promises, that all Thine adopted sons
may even now behold, with the eyes of faith, and patinetly wait for, the light of which as
yet Thou dost not openly manifest; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
For Freedom From Sin
O Lord, my Saviour, in whose power it is to remit sins, I beseech Thee say unto
me, 'Loose thee from thy chains, come out of the bonds of thy sins'' and when Thou sayest
it, loose those cords of my errors wherewith I am entangled and bound; for, though I am
the most wicked of all men, and to be abhorred by reason of my continuance in sins, yet
when thou commandest, I shall be free from them. Amen.
