For the pardon of our sins, which restores us to the company of your faithful people,
We thank you, Lord.

For the blessing of our vows and the crowning of our years with your goodness,
We thank you, Lord.

For the faith of those who have gone before us and for our encouragement by their perseverance,
We thank you, Lord.

For the fellowship of [N., our patron, and of] all your Saints,
We thank you, Lord.

After a brief silence, the Celebrant concludes with the following Doxology

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty;
People For everything in heaven and on earth is yours.
Celebrant Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom;
People And you are exalted as head over all. Amen.

This Litany may also be used on the anniversary of the dedication or consecration of a church, or on other suitable occasions.
