we gather to You in praise,
one flock, one people,
made to worship You and care for each other
throughout the whole Earth.
Your love, O Lord, is neverending:
You have sought us out even when we stray, Holy One;
You search our hearts and guide us
with a loving, tender hand.
We thank you for the green, abundant pastures You offer us,
for the rich feast of mercy and love
You spread before us always, Beloved Jesus.
May we remember your abiding Spirit
ever within our hearts,
and live and move according to your call, O God.
Secure beneath your loving gaze,
keep us within the lea of your protection and grace, Almighty One,
safe within your loving arms,
and rest your hand especially on those for whom we pray.
Amen.
Based on John 10:7-17, in the daily office
