Almighty, Life-Giving God,
we praise You in joy before the rising sun.
Spirit of the Living God,
breathe into our spirits the gift of grace
and let mercy take root within us,
for we know our manifold faults.
Forgive us, O Blessed Savior,
for our divisions, our fears, our jealousies,
and enlighten us by your living, eternal wisdom.
Help us to perfect ourselves in love, O Holy One,
that we are living witnesses to You
through our words and deeds.
Guide us into generosity and empathy,
seeing your imprint in each person, Lord Christ.
Unite us through love of You, O Redeemer,
who are known by many names but one truth.
Pour out your blessing over us, and place your hand of healing over all.
Amen.
