Almighty God, you have given your only Son to
be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life:
Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits
of this redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most
holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Book of Common Prayer
