IV LITANIES OF INTERCESSION 18. LITANY OF THE DIVINE WILL V. Jesus said: Whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother and sister and mother.
R. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. O God, who hast created us all and called us to take our part ,in thy tremendous purpose, V. O God, who hast shown us thy eternal will in the life of Christ our Lord,
R. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. V. O God, who art ever working in men's hearts by the operation of thy Spirit, to make us fellow-workers with thy will,
R. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. V. O God, who willest that all men should be saved, and come to the knowledge of thy truth,
R . Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost,
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
V. From all reliance on ourselves, from trying to limit the range of thy purposes, from doubts of thy mightiness in operation,
R. Save us, and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord. V. From all unwillingness to learn thy will, from clinging to our own plans and desires, from all want of faith in self-committal to thy guidance,
R. Save us, and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord. V. From cowardice in following thy leading, from ever suffering our own ambitions to cloud the vision of thy will for us, from trying to serve thee and escape the cost,
R. Save us, and help us, we humbly beseech thee. O Lord. V. From weakness when we are faced with big decisions, from over-confidence in making them, from acting without trying to learn thy will,
R. Save us, and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord. V. From shirking the responsibility of our place in the divine order, from fearing new truth and new ways of thought and life,
R. Save us, and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord. V. From seeking to set forward human progress, whether in the Church or in the world, by doing our own will instead of loyally asking to know thine,
R. Save us, and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord.
¶ The Minister shall use all or some of these V. Let us pray for the accomplishment of God's will and purpose as we know it in our Lord. He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence ; having made known unto us the mystery of his will. Eph. 1: 8-9.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. John 1: 18. All things have been delivered unto me by the Father, and no man knoweth the Father but the Son and he to whomsoever the Son wills to reveal him. Matt. 11: 27. If any man do his will, he shall know of the doctrine whether it be of God. John 7: 17. (Silence.) V. Let us pray that society may be so ordered, that every soul may come to the fullness of the perfection for which God made it. It is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. Matt. 18: 14.
(Silence.) V. Let us pray for the betterment of international relationships, disarmament, the World Court, and the League of Nations.
Ye have heard it said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies. Matt. 5: 43-4. (Silence.) V. Let us pray for greater mutual respect and trust in our dealings one with another, and for greater love of beauty and active purity in all the associations of daily life. All ye are brethren, for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Matt. 23: 8-9.
Ye have heard it said, Thou shalt not kill, and whosoever killeth shall be in danger of the judgment. But I say unto you, Whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell-fire. Matt. 5: 21-2. (Silence.) V. Let us pray for greater reverence for children, and for the revival of the sanctity of home life. Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of God. Mark 10: 14.
(Silence.) V. Let us pray for the increasing application of science, and for the study of the body and mind; for the restoration of health and wholesomeness and gladness in the lives of men and women. If thou art willing, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand and touched him, saying, I will, be thou clean. Matt. 8: 2-3.
(Silence.) V. Let us pray for the growth of the spirit of reconciliation and fellowship, that the will of God for man may be realized in the affairs of this world (especially with regard to . . . .). This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you. John 15: 12.
(Silence.) V. Let us pray for increased power and Vision to the Church, that through us the will of God may be fulfilled. All power is given unto me, in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations. Matt. 28: 18-19.
(Silence.) V. Let us pray for the reunion of the Church, that the Spirit of our Lord may be manifest to the world. I pray that they may all be one, even as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. John 17: 21.
(Silence.) V. Finally, let us pray for loyalty to do the will of God following our Lord. Remember the test of loyalty to him. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of God, but he that doeth the will of my Father. I came not to do mine own will but the will of him that sent me. My meat is to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work.
O LORD, we beseech thee mercifully to receive the prayers of thy people which call upon thee and grant that they may both perceive and know what 'things they ought to do, and also may have grace and power faithfully to fulfill the same; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. V. Thy kingdom come. |

19. LITANY OF DAILY BREAD 19 A (Jesus said: Ask and it shall be given unto you seek and ye shall find. What man is there of you who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will he give him a stone, or if he shall ask for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then with all your human imperfections know how to give good things unto your children, how much more
shall your Father which is in heaven give good things
to them that ask him? Therefore, whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do ye also unto them.
Matt. 7: 7-12. V. Let us thank God for all the provision which he has made for the needs both of our bodies and souls. For all the sustenance which thou hast provided for our bodies, minds, and spirits,· to fit us for communion with

19 B V. Let us ask forgiveness for all the ways in which we have abused God's gifts, forgetting that they are entrusted to us to be used for him and for our fellow men. O GOD the Father, from whom all fatherhood in earth and in heaven is named, graciously behold thy family. Thou art kind to the ungrateful and makest thy sun to arise on the just and the unjust. But we have misused thy gifts, and marred thy work and robbed one another of our daily bread. We pray for true repentance and pardon.

Amen. V. And now, O Lord, vie humbly beseech thee that thou who hast taught us to pray for our daily bread, wilt enable us to win and use it according to thy will. If one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it. If one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof. I Cor. 12: 26-27.
R. We beseech thee to hear us. And that thou wilt give men skill and enterprise in husbanding the resources of the earth, that all thy children may have meat enough, V. That we may not try to live by bread alone, but measure all our wealth and all our labor by the standard of our Lord,

Amen. O THOU whose meat was to do the Father's will, grant us to order and use the things of this world as partakers of the life of the world to come, even that life eternal which thou hast brought from heaven upon earth; to the glory of thy holy name.
