 Almighty God, you have placed in the skies the sign of your covenant with all living things: Grant that we, who are saved  through water and the Spirit, may worthily offer to you our  sacrifice of thanksgiving; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Let us pray.

God and Father of all believers, for the glory of your Name multiply, by the grace of the Paschal sacrament, the number  of your children; that your Church may rejoice to see fulfilled  your promise to our father Abraham; through Jesus Christ  our Lord. Amen.

Let us pray. (Silence)

O God, whose wonderful deeds of old shine forth even to our own day, you once delivered by the power of your mighty  arm your chosen people from slavery under Pharaoh, to be a  sign for us of the salvation of all nations by the water of  Baptism: Grant that all the peoples of the earth may be  numbered among the offspring of Abraham, and rejoice in  the inheritance of Israel; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
