Almighty Father, whose blessed Son for thirty years shared our human life and showed forth the glory of our manhood: We pray that the mind that was in him may also be in us, that we may be conformed to his image. Save us from the fear of man, from the bondage of self, from indifference to the claims of others; and grant that, following his steps, we may dedicate our life, our strength, our time, and all that we have, to the service of mankind and the advancement of thy kingdom; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
