Almighty God, source of knowledge, wisdom and faith: We praise you for the gifts you richly bestowed on your servant Charles Porterfield Krauth: and we pray that by his teaching and example , we may honor the tradition that has been entrusted to us, cherish it, and hand it on in its fullness to generations after us ; through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
(Philip H. Pfatteicher “New Book of Festivals and Commemorations”)

89 Forever, O Lord, your word
    is firmly fixed in the heavens.
90 Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
    you have established the earth, and it stands fast.
91 By your appointment they stand this day,
    for all things are your servants.
92 If your law had not been my delight,
    I would have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget your precepts,
    for by them you have given me life.
94 I am yours; save me,
    for I have sought your precepts.
95 The wicked lie in wait to destroy me,
    but I consider your testimonies.
96 I have seen a limit to all perfection,
    but your commandment is exceedingly broad.

Psalm 119 – English Standard Version
