Prayer of Augustine (345-430) link

Look upon us, O Lord,
and let all the darkness of our souls
vanish before the beams of thy brightness.
Fill us with holy love,
and open to us the treasures of thy wisdom.
All our desire is known unto thee,
therefore perfect what thou hast begun,
and what thy Spirit has awakened us to ask in prayer.
We seek thy face,
turn thy face unto us and show us thy glory.
Then shall our longing be satisfied,
and our peace shall be perfect.
Amen

Prayer of Ambrose of Milan, c 339-397 link

O Lord, who hast mercy upon all, take away from me my sins,
and mercifully kindle in me the fire of thy Holy Spirit.
Take away from me the heart of stone,
and give me a heart of flesh,
a heart to love and adore thee,
a heart to delight in thee,
to follow and to enjoy thee,
for Christ’s sake.
Amen

Prayer of Clement of Alexandria (c. 150–215) link

O Educator, be gracious to thy children, O Educator, Father, Guide of Israel, Son and Father, both one, Lord. Give to us,
who follow thy command, to fulfill the likeness of thy image, and to see, according to our strength,
the God who is both a good God and a Judge who is not harsh. Do thou thyself bestow all things on us who dwell in thy peace,
who have been placed in thy city, who sail the sea of sin unruffled, that we may be made tranquil and supported by the Holy Spirit,
the unutterable Wisdom, by night and day, unto the perfect day, to sing eternal thanksgiving
to the one only Father and Son, Son and Father, Educator and Teacher with the Holy Spirit.
Amen

Benediction: Æthelwold c 908-984 link

May God the Father bless us;
may Christ take care of us;
the Holy Ghost enlighten us all the days of our life.
The Lord be our defender and keeper of body and soul,
both now and forever, to the ages of ages.
Amen

  1. Dee, I live near Eternal Church and heard through former Eternal members that Don Logan is no longer on the SC Sex Offender registry, but still lives in Fort Mill, SC. I looked at the registry and he is not there. My friends think he might be starting his own church with Eternal members who want him back.
