"Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it;
except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain."
(Psalm 127:1)
"Oh eternal and everlasting God, direct my thoughts, words, and works.
Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the Lamb and purge my
heart by Thy Holy Spirit. Daily frame me more and more in the likeness

unto eternal life. Bless O Lord, the whole race of mankind,
and let the world be filled with the knowledge of
Thee and Thy Son Jesus Christ."
