Gregory of Nyssa

Almighty God, who have revealed to your Church your eternal Being of glorious majesty and perfect love as one God in Trinity of Persons: Give us grace that, like your bishop Gregory of Nyssa, we may continue steadfast in the confession of this faith, and constant in our worship of you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who live and reign for ever and ever. Amen

7 The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul;
   the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
8 the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
   the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9 the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
   the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;
   sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
   in keeping them there is great reward.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
   be acceptable in your sight,
   O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Psalm 19 – English Standard Version
