*The Bishop then continues*

May he exalt you, O Lord, in the midst of your people; offer 
spiritual sacrifices acceptable to you; boldly proclaim the 
gospel of salvation; and rightly administer the sacraments of 
the New Covenant. Make him a faithful pastor, a patient 
teacher, and a wise councilor. Grant that in all things he may 
serve without reproach, so that your people may be 
strengthened and your Name glorified in all the world. All 
this we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and 
the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever.

*The People in a loud voice respond*    Amen.


*The new priest is now vested according to the order of priests.*


*The Bishop then gives a Bible to the newly ordained, saying*

Receive this Bible as a sign of the authority given you to 
preach the Word of God and to administer his holy 
Sacraments.  Do not forget the trust committed to you as a 
priest of the Church of God.

*The Bishop greets the newly ordained.*


The Peace

*The new Priest then says to the congregation*

The peace of the Lord be always with you.

*People*  And also with you.

*The Presbyters present greet the newly ordained; who then greets family 
members and others, as may be convenient.  The Clergy and People greet 
one another.*
