Morning Prayer: Friday after Ash Wednesday

1. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Support us, O Lord, with your gracious favor through
   the fast we have begun; 
   
   
   that as we observe it by bodily self-denial, 
   so we may fulfill it with inner sincerity of heart; 
   through Jesus Christ our Lord, 
   who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, 
   one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
