Prayer and Thanksgiving from Chapter XXIII of the Earlier Rule

All powerful, most holy, most high and supreme God Holy and just Father, Lord, King of heaven and earth we thank you for yourself.

For through your holy will and through your only Son with the Holy spirit you have created all things spiritual and corporal and, having made us in your own image and likeness, you placed us in paradise. And through our own fault we have fallen.

And we thank you for as through your Son you created us so also, through your holy love, with which you loved us you brought about His birth.
