Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, you
know our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have
compassion on our weakness, and mercifully give us those things which
for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask;
through the worthiness of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
