Prayer of Praise

Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

He who in His great mercy gave us new birth,

a birth unto hope

which draws its life from the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead;

a birth to an imperishable inheritance,

incapable of fading or defilement,

which is kept in heaven for you

who are guarded with God's power through faith;

a birth to a salvation

which stands ready to be revealed in the last days.

Amen.
