“Grant, almighty God,
since you have won us by the precious blood of your Son,
that we may not be our own masters
but devoted to you in steadfast obedience,
so that we may set our minds on consecrating ourselves entirely to you
and so to offer body and soul in sacrifice
that we are prepared to encounter a hundred deaths
rather than defect from the true and sincere worship of your Godhead…”
-John Calvin
