Almighty Father, who didst inspire Simon Peter, first among the apostles, to confess Jesus as the Christ and Son of the living God: Keep thy Church steadfast upon the rock of this faith, so that in unity and peace we may proclaim the one truth and follow the one Lord, our Savior Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

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.
