O God, who for the Three Children didst assuage the flames of fire: mercifully grant that the flames of sin may not consume us Thy servants. Direct, we beseech Thee, O Lord, our actions by Thy inspiration, and further them with Thy continual help; that every prayer and work of ours may always begin from Thee, and through Thee be brought to an end. Vouchsafe, O Lord, to extinguish within us the flames of sin; Thou who didst grant to Blessed Lawrence grace to arise whole from his fiery torments. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
