(therefore it says
‘God opposes the proud
but to the humble gives grace.’

So be submitted to God, 
and resist the Devil
        then he will flee away from you all, 

Draw near to God
   and then he will draw near to you, 
wash your hands, sinners,
purify your hearts, double minded.

Grieve and 
mourn and 
weep.

Let your laughter be turned
to mourning
and (your) joy
to gloom.

Be humble before the Lord
and then he will exalt you.

O Lord Jesus Christ,
stay beside me to defend me,
within me to guide me,
before me to lead me,
and above me to bless me,
that with you and in you,
I may live, and move and have my being,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
