People I will, with God’s help.

The Celebrant concludes the Renewal of Vows as follows

May Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and bestowed upon us the forgiveness of sins, keep us in eternal life by his grace, in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Amen.

At the Eucharist

The candles at the Altar may now be lighted from the Paschal Candle.

People The Lord is risen indeed.  Alleluia.

The Canticles
