Collects

Eternal Father, who at the baptism of Jesus didst reveal him as thy Son as thy Holy Spirit descended upon him like a dove: Mercifully grant that we, being regenerate by water and the Spirit, may live faithfully as thine adopted children; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the same Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
