ALMIGHTY and Everlasting God,
who didst deign to enrich the earthly Body of thine only Son,
the Holy Church, by the birth of a new family of faith :
Mercifully grant to us, we beseech Thee,
the healthfull Spirit of thy Grace,
that we may ever please Thee in truth,
and be filled with the dew of thy heavenly blessing,
that, in our witness and ministry,
we may bring forth a fruitful harvest of souls
to the honour and glory of thy great Name;
Through our Lord Jesus Christ,
who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Spirit,
ever one God, world without end. Amen.
