her good offices, or her charity. And since Thou hast promised that
where two or three are gathered together in Thy name Thou wilt be in
the midst of them to grant their request, O gracious Lord, grant to
us who are here met in Thy name that those requests, which in the
utmost sincerity and earnestness of our hearts we have now made in
behalf of this Thy distressed servant and of ourselves, may
effectually be answered, through the merits of Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
