Concluding Prayers of Baptism

CEL: Lord God, You have washed up and purified this child in
the blood of Jesus, the divine Lamb, who takes away the sins of
the world. We thank You for having fulfilled in this servant our
Lord, Jesus Christ's promise of the Holy Spirit. We praise You
for having made this son (daughter) of Yours co-heir with Christ,
and rich in the grace of the Holy Spirit. Bless this servant that he
(she) may glorify You in truth and spirit. Father, Son and Holy
Spirit, Lord of all, forever.

ALL: Amen. Lord, bless us.

CEL: May the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Jo-
seph, the holy Apostles, our Father St. Thomas, the Confessors,
Saints and all the Blessed in the Church, and of the Patron Saint
of our parish, assist this child. May the life of witness of the
saint, after whom this child is named, be his (her) model.

ALL: Amen.

CEL: Blessed be the God who has raised us, through baptism,
to the status of the children of God. May He help you to live as a
faithful son (daughter) of the Church. Having received the Holy
Spirit, may you become a daring mis-sionary, bearing witness to
the Gospel. Being supportive in dangers, consoling in sorrows
and helpful in trials, may He protect you until you reach the
heavenly bliss that eyes have not seen, ears have not heard and
the heart has not yet enjoyed. May God make you worthy to be
the hope of your parents, the light of your home, and an example
of service for the people. May He bless you all abun-dantly, who
have partaken in this sacred service. Now, always + and forever .

ALL: Amen.
