Prayer before the Divine Office
O Lord, open Thou my mouth that I may bless Thy Holy Name;
cleanse my heart from all vain, evil, and wandering
thoughts;
enlighten my understanding;
kindle my affections, that I may worthily, attentively,
and devoutly recite this office,
and may deserve to be heard before
the presence of Thy divine Majesty.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
