thank you for coming to us in Jesus,
who asks us to love everyone—
friends, strangers, enemies,
and even our very human, imperfect selves.
Center us in this healing possibility.
Let love bloom now
wherever its seeds can find a place to grow…
in our hearts, in our lives,
in our communities,
and all around the world.
As we find we are part of such infinite blessing,
may we give thanks and sing for joy.
