Spirit of the Lord, who knows all and speaks things to your people great and small, fill us with wisdom and your favor, that we might grow strong according to your ways and thereby fulfill your desires for us in the world, through Jesus Christ our redeemer, who reigns with the Father through you in glory and knowledge and majesty forever. Amen. ‘The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.’ – Luke 2:40
