Source of all we have and are, you have sent Christ to save us.  We commit our lives to serve him.  Your Spirit abides with us as counselor and guide.  We offer our actions to be led by her wisdom.  The waters of baptism are a sign of your forgiveness.  We dedicate our talents as symbols of faithfulness.  May what we bring prove worthy of your benevolence to us.
