Clement of Rome, 1st Century
We beseech thee, Master, to be our helper and protector.
Save the afflicted among us
have mercy on the lowly
raise up the fallen
appear to the needy
heal the ungodly
restore the wanderers of thy people
feed the hungry
ransom our prisoners
raise up the sick
comfort the faint-hearted.
Live your life, do your work, take your hat. - Thoreau
