Lord God, high above all rulers and authorities, show us what it means to fear you rightly, that in fearing you, we might also receive from you mercy and salvation and redemption as you have demonstrated to many who have gone before us, through Christ our Lord, who reigns with you in the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
‘Indeed, his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation.’ – Luke 1:50
