Prayer For The Week:

Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves; Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which many happen to the body, and form all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reign with you and the Holy Spirit, one god, for ever and ever. Amen.
