   Antiphon on Psalm 139

Search 

me out, 

O God, 

and know 

my heart; 

and lead me

 in the way
that is 
everlasting.

Gracious Father, we pray for the holy Catholic Church. Fill it with 
all truth, with all truth in all peace. Where it is corrupt, purify it. Where it is in error, direct it; 
where in anything it is amiss, reform it; wherever right, strengthen it, where it is in want, provide for it; whew it  is divided, reunite it, for the sake of Jesus Christ, your Son our Savior. (BCP Pg 816)
