will receive the glory You had with Him before the creation of the world. Your prayed
that we would become one with each other and with You as You are with Your Father. Help
us to remain in the truth and not be led astray by winds of doctrine. Your Holy Spirit

Let us Pray to the Lord. Lord have Mercy.O God of Truth and Love, hear our prayer for those who do not know You,
that they may come to a saving knowledge of the Truth, and that Your Name may be praised
among all the peoples of the world. Sustain, inspire, and enlighten Your servants who
bring them the Gospel. Grant vigor to wavering faith and sustain our faith when it is
fragile. Continually renew missionary zeal in our souls and throughout Your Church, and
raise up new missionaries who will follow You to the ends of the earth. Make us witnesses
to Your goodness--full of love, full of strength, and full of faith - for Your glory

Cyril and Methodius, teachers of the Slavs; of Saint Kosmas of Aitola; of Saints Herman,
Innocent, and Tikhon, Enlighteners of America; of Saint Nicholas, Enlightener of Japan;
