Almighty and everlasting God, from
whom cometh every good and perfect gift:
send down upon our bishops, and other clergy, and upon the congregations
committed to their charge, the healthful Spirit of thy grace; and, that they
may truly please thee, pour upon them the continual dew of thy blessing. Grant this, O Lord, for the honor of our
Advocate and Mediator, Jesus Christ. Amen
