Creator God,
Ruler of Our Hearts,
we gather around your altar
knit together as one body, one heart,
proclaiming your steadfast love and faithfulness.
Lord Jesus Christ,
through your incarnation,
you hallowed and sanctified our frail flesh,
and exemplified the fully enlightened, purpose-driven life:
lead us into deeper relationship and devotion to you
and to fulfilling your faith in us
to share in the reconciliation of the whole world.
Expand our understanding of your commandments
that our worship and witness
lifts up and sustains every aspect of our lives,
that we may reflect your light with joy, O Most High.
Teach us to love You and each other fully,
remembering that each person we meet bears your image.
By the power of the Holy Spirit,
make us steadfastly joyful in our witness and service to You,
O Most Merciful One,
and press the kiss of your blessing upon all those for whom we pray.
Amen.
