Gracious God, bless this daughter of yours whom we have joyfully
received into our community. By the help of your grace may she be
filled with faith in your word and give herself without reserve
to your love, so as to gain the everlasting reward you have promised
to those who have left all things to follow more closely in the
footsteps of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
Amen
