To fulfill the ancient promise of salvation, O God,
you made a covenant with our ancestors
and pledged them descendants more numerous than the stars.
Grant that all people may share in the blessings of your covenant,
accomplished through the death and resurrection of your Son
and sealed by the gift of your Spirit. Amen.

God of the prophets and apostles,
you greeted old Abraham and Sarah
with news of wonder and life.
Send us into the world
to preach good news, as Jesus did,
heal the sick,
resist evil,
and bring the outcast home. Amen.
