Almighty God, who truly to know is everlasting life: Grant us so
perfectly to know your Son Jesus Christ to be the way, the truth, and
the life, that we may steadfastly follow his steps in the way that leads
to eternal life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and
reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and
ever. Amen.
