O God, you declare your almighty power chiefly in showing mercy and pity: Grant us the fullness of your grace, that we, running to obtain your promises, may become partakers of your heavenly treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Blessed God, fountain of life: Grant that we may see all
water as holy, and so protect and preserve the waters of
the earth and the life they sustain. In the name of Christ,
the living water, we pray. Amen.
