Let the power of your Holy Spirit come upon up , O Lord, that we may be strengthened to keep your will faithfully in mind and to enact it in lives of loving obedience; through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
(from the Roman Sacramentary)

11 All you who fear the Lord, trust the Lord!
He is your helper and your shield.
12 The Lord remembers us and will bless us.
He will bless the people of Israel
and bless the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear the Lord,
both great and lowly.
14 May the Lord richly bless
both you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 115 New International Version
