In the midst of struggle and heartbreak, O God,
you abide with us,
and set your kiss upon our hearts.
The Holy One lifts us up
and calls us to strength and courage,
for your faithful love is neverending,
O Savior and Redeemer,
who shares our joy as well as our pain.
You, O Merciful, Life-giving One,
are our sanctuary and our home;
make us true disciples,
aflame with your love
and filled with your Holy Spirit.
May we set out from your altars
rededicated to embodying your peace and justice,
and bearing your light to all corners of the world.
Sealed by your promise of mercy, Lord Christ,
we ask your blessing
as we dedicate ourselves to your Way.
Gather within your embrace
all who call out to you,
and grant your peace to those whom we lift before you.
Amen.
