5.  Of the Holy Eucharist

*Especially suitable for Thursdays*

God our Father, whose Son our Lord Jesus Christ in a
wonderful Sacrament hath left unto us a memorial of his 
passion: Grant us so to venerate the sacred mysteries of his 
Body and Blood, that we may ever perceive within ourselves 
the fruit of his redemption; who liveth and reigneth with 
thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.

*Preface of the Epiphany*


6. Of the Holy Cross

*Especially suitable for Fridays*

Almighty God, whose beloved Son willingly endured the 
agony and shame of the cross for our redemption:  Give us 
courage, we beseech thee, to take up our cross and follow 
him; who liveth and reigneth with you and the Holy Spirit, 
one God, now and for ever.  Amen.

*Preface of Holy Week*


7. For all Baptized Christians

*Especially suitable for Saturdays*

Grant, O Lord God, to all who have been baptized into the
death and resurrection of thy Son Jesus Christ, that, as we
have put away the old life of sin, so we may be renewed in
the spirit of our minds, and live in righteousness and true 
holiness; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth 
and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one 
God, now and for ever. Amen.

*Preface of Baptism*
