Almighty God, who sent your Holy Spirit to be the life and light of your Church: open our hearts to the riches of your grace, that we may bring forth the fruit of the Spirit in love and joy and peace; through Jesus Christ, your Son or Lord, who is alive and remains with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Serene Son of God, whose will subdued the troubled waters and laid to rest the
fears of men: Let thy majesty master us, thy power of calm control us; that for our
fears we may have faith, and for our disquietude perfect trust in thee; who dost
live and govern all things, world without end.
