O Almighty God, who hast instructed thine holy Church with the heavenly doctrine of thy Evangelist Saint Mark: Give us grace, that, being not like children carried away with every blast of vain doctrine, we may be established in the truth of thine holy Gospel; who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
