God our Father,

you redeem us

and make us your children in Christ.

Look upon us, give us true freedom

and bring us to the inheritance you promised.

Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life.
