Glory to you, O holy One. You descended from the heavenly
dwellings to the earthly depths. In your compassion you took
the form of a slave to forgive your servants. You walked on the
waves of the sea in order to sanctify Adam, who was created in
the image of your majesty.

O Lord, you sanctified those who are impure and with your
hyssop you purified sinners and made them whiter than snow.
Through your powerful grace, forgive me and your servants,
who ask you for the pardon of their faults and the forgiveness
of their sins. As you forgave the family of Cornelius through
the hand of Simon Peter, the Apostle, in the same way, may
pardon of sins descend upon us and upon all the children of
your flock, who have been redeemed by your precious blood.
We glorify you, your Father, and your Holy Spirit, now and
for ever.

Amen.
