so that we might praise the splendid blessing which he has given us through his beloved Son. It is through union with him and through his blood that we have been delivered and our offenses forgiven, in the abundance of his mercy which he has lavished upon us.

blessing and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who to save us from the present wicked world gave himself for our sins at the will of our God and Father.
