That we may be doers of the word and not hearers only

That we may be doers of the word and not hearers only

O LORD Jesus Christ, Co-eternal Word of the Father, Who didst become like unto us in all things, sin only excepted, for the salvation of our race, and didst send forth Thy disciples and Apostles to preach and teach the Gospel of Thy Kingdom, and to cure all sickness and all infirmity among Thy people, do Thou Thyself, O Lord, send out Thy Light and Thy Truth, and enlighten the eyes of our minds to understand Thy Divine Word. Give us grace to be hearers of it, and not hearers only, but doers of the Word, that we may bring forth good fruit abundantly, and be counted worthy of the Kingdom of heaven. And to Thee, O Lord our God, we ascribe glory, and thanksgiving, saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.
