O you who are faithful and true, reject us not utterly though we are often lukewarm in your service. Save us from thinking that we are rich in good works; show us where we are poor and blind and naked; and as you chasten those whom you love, incline us to lay to heart the reproofs of your Spirit and to be zealous and to repent. Let your people, O Lord, hear your voice and be open to you, that in the power of so holy and mighty an Indweller your church may conquer, and we finally may be enthroned with you in your kingdom. Amen.

—The Gelasian Sacramentary
