O God,
you enlightened this most holy night
with the glory of the Lord’s resurrection.
Preserve the spirit of adoption
which you have given to all your people,
so that renewed in body and soul,
we may serve you in all purity;
through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
