Almighty God, the giver of all good gifts, who of thy divine providence hast appointed diverse orders in thy Church: Give thy grace, we humbly beseech thee, to all those who are [now] called to any office and ministry in the same; and so replenish them with the truth of thy doctrine and endue them with innocency of life, that they may faithfully serve before thee, to the glory of thy great Name, and the benefit of thy holy Church; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.
