For the Universal Church
GRACIOUS Father, we humbly beseech Thee for Thy Universal Church. Fill it with all truth, in all truth with all peace. Where it is corrupt, purge it ; and where it is in error, direct it ; where it is superstitious, rectify it ; where anything is amiss, reform it; where it is right, strengthen and confirm it ; where it is in want, furnish it ; where it is divided and rent asunder, make up the breaches thereof, O Thou holy One of Israel ; for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
