Almighty and everlasting God, from whom comes every good and perfect gift: As they gather this week at their annual clergy conference in Riverside, send down upon our bishops, deacons, and priests the healthful Spirit of your grace: and, that they may truly please you, pour upon them the continual dew of your blessing. Grant this, O Lord, for the honor of our Advocate and Mediator, Jesus Christ. Amen.
— Book of Common Prayer
