Almighty god , who wonderfully created us in your own image and yet more wonderfully restored us through your son jesus christ : grant that , as he came to share in our humanity , so we may share the life of his divinity ; who is alive and reigns with you , in the unity of the holy spirit , one god , now and for ever 全能的上帝,你奇妙地按自己的形像,创造了高贵的人性,更奇妙地藉你圣子恢复了人的尊严.你的圣子耶稣基督降生人间,取了我们的人性,愿我们也能分享他神性的生命.他和你及圣神,是唯一上帝,永生永王
