Before Any Work:
O Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of the eternal Father, Thou hast said, “Without me you can do nothing.”
In faith I embrace Thy words, O Lord, and bow before Thy goodness.
Help me to complete the work I am about to begin for Thine own glory:
in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
After Any Work:
Thou, O Christ, art Thyself the fulfillment of all good things!
Fill my soul with joy and gladness, and save me, for Thou art all merciful.
