The Celebrant then says this or some other appropriate prayer

Let us pray.

Almighty God, look with favor upon this person who has now reaffirmed his commitment to follow Christ and to serve in his name. Give him courage, patience, and vision; and strengthen us all in our Christian vocation of witness to the world, and of service to others; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

A prayer for the special work in which the person will be engaged may be added.

The service then continues with the exchange of the Peace and the Offertory.
