O Lord God Almighty, Our Father,
You have always led your people and ordained Apostles in various places and in many nations: bless the Anglican Church of the Diocese of Toliara so that, under the guidance of Your Holy Spirit, the Archbishop, the Chancellor of the Diocese, the Electoral College and all Provincial Bishops will be prepared to choose whom you will to shepherd your sheep, to serve as a wise leader, and to establish and expand your Kingdom in the Diocese of Toliara;
through the Good Shepherd and Head of the Church, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, the one God for ever and ever. Amen
