*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.*
