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. Amen.

O God, who didst lead thine holy Apostles to ordain ministers in every place: Grant that thy Church, under the guidance of the Holy Ghost, may choose them that are suitable for the ministry of Word and Sacrament, and may uphold them in their work for the extension of thy kingdom; through him who is the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls, even Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
