ALMIGHTY GOD, our Heavenly Father, who

And as Thou hast accepted the offerings and sacrifice of Thy Church, and hast had respect unto their faith and prayers, and through the ministry of Thine ordained servants hast, by Thy Holy Spirit, made this bread and this cup to be the most precious Body and Blood of Christ our Saviour, given for

remission of sins, and for Eternal Life, feeding Thy Church and congregation with heavenly food; So, we beseech Thee, vouchsafe also unto these Thy servants the same inestimable benefits; that they, being admitted unto the same holy Communion, may receive remission of their sins, and may be nourished unto everlasting glory in the world to come; Through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with Thee and the Holy Ghost, One God, be glory for ever and ever.
