of your Word and Sacraments.  We pray that &N. may be to us 
an effective example in word and action, in love and patience, 
and in holiness of life.  Grant that we, with him, may serve 
you now, and always rejoice in your glory; through Jesus 
Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and 
the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.


*The Bishop blesses the people, after which the new Deacon dismisses 
them*

Let us go forth into the world, 
rejoicing in the power of the Spirit.

*People*  Thanks be to God.

*From Easter Day through the Day of Pentecost, "Alleluia, alleluia," may 
be added to the dismissal and to the response.*
