Heirs Through Hope

Almighty and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee

for that thou dost feed us, in these holy mysteries, with the

spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy

Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of

thy favor and goodness towards us; and that we are very

members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, the

blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs,

through hope, of thy everlasting kingdom. And we humbly

beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy

grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do

all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in;

through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with thee and the

Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end.

Amen.
