"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth: And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:5-11
O GOD, who knowest us to be set in
the midst of so many and great dangers, that by reason of the
frailty of our nature we cannot always stand upright; Grant to
us such strength and protection, as may support us in all dangers,
and carry us through all temptations; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
