    God of wisdom, eternal light,

    to your holy presence;
    through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
    who is alive and reigns with you,

    one God, now and for ever.

    Post Communion

    Merciful God,
    who gave such grace to your servant Alcuin
    that he served you with singleness of heart
    and loved you above all things:
    help us, whose communion with you
    has been renewed in this sacrament,
    to forsake all that holds us back from following Christ
    and to grow into his likeness from glory to glory;
    through Jesus Christ our Lord.
