A Clementine Blessing

May God, who sees all things, and who is the Ruler of all spirits and the Lord of all the living— who chose our Lord Jesus Christ, and through him chose us \

to be a people for his own possession— grant to every soul that calls

on his glorious and holy name, faith, peace, patience, long-suffering, self-control, purity, and sobriety, to the glory of his name, through our High Priest and Protector, Jesus Christ, to whom be glory, and majesty, and power, and honor, both now and forever. Amen.

Clement of Rome (c. 96)
