   Almighty God our heavenly Father, 
   renew in us the gifts of your mercy; 
   increase our faith, strengthen our hope, 
   enlighten our understanding, widen our charity, 
   and make us ready to serve you; 
   through Jesus Christ our Lord, 
   who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, 
   one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
