Help us in the development of truth

Father, we come before Thee as the creator

and sustainer of Thy divine providence.

Help us, O Lord,

and be with us in the darkest hour of our life.

Help us to roll back the sepulchre stone

which hides us from the true light.

Help us in the development of truth.

Help us in the discharge of our duties.

Teach us charity and love.

Give us grace to conquer every obstacle in life.

Shed Thy love upon us

until we feel that all men are of one brotherhood.

Help Thy servant to remove the dark banner of bigotry,

which is now hanging over mankind.

Grant for the sake of each one present 

a knowledge of the angelic hosts

which now circle around them.

Amen
