Morning:
O God, Who art the unsearchable abyss of peace,
the ineffable sea of love, the fountain of blessings,
and the bestower of affection,
Who sendest peace to those that receive it;
open to us this day the sea of Thy love,
and water us with the plenteous streams
from the riches of Thy grace.
Make us children of quietness, and heirs of peace.
Enkindle in us the fire of Thy love; sow in us Thy fear;
strengthen our weakness by Thy power;
bind us closely to Thee and to each other
in one firm bond of unity;
for the sake of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
-- Syrian Clementine Liturgy.

Evening:
O Sovereign and Almighty Lord,
bless all Thy people and all Thy flock.
Give peace, Thy help, Thy love unto us,
Thy servants the sheep of Thy fold,
that we may be united in the bond of peace
and love, one body and one spirit,
in one hope of our calling,
in Thy Divine and boundless love;
for the sake of Jesus Christ,
the great Shepherd of the sheep.
Amen.
-- Liturgy of St. Mark.
