we offer you our praise,
as we marvel at your handiwork all around us
and dedicate ourselves to your commandments.
On this day, may we
forgive freely,
act for healing where there is injury,
stand with the oppressed,
welcome the refugee,
and care for the desolate and forsaken.
For we know we have drunk deep
from the bowls of your mercy and grace,
not for our own sake,
but so that we may then embody your steadfast lovingkindness
to a waiting, hurting world.
Strengthen us to be your hands in the world,
Beloved Savior, Light of the World,
that we may work for the welfare of all people,
as we ask your blessing upon those we now name.
as we marvel at your handiwork all around us
and dedicate ourselves to your commandments.

Amen.
