Eternal God,
everlasting Father,
we lift to
you adoring love and praise
for the gift
of faith
by which we
open ourselves
to the fiery
Love of your Spirit,
poured out
through the pierced Heart
of your Son,
Jesus Christ.
Stir up that
faith anew in us,
O Father!
Deepen our
trust,
illumine our
minds,
and make us
worthy servants
of the
reconciliation
Christ won
for us,
that we may
come to know
the peace of
the Kingdom
where you
live forever and ever.
Amen.
