The Church: Grounded in Weakness, Grounded in Power

Keep watch over your Church, O Lord, with your unfailing

love; and, since it is grounded in human weakness and

cannot maintain itself without your aid, protect it from all

danger, and keep it in the way of salvation; through Jesus

Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and

the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
