Christ Jesus –
The promise of life is in You.
May sincere faith that once lived in our grandmothers and mothers now live in us.
May we rekindle Your gift that is within us – the spirit of power and love and self-discipline.
Saved with a grace given to us before the ages began, may we put our trust in You – the One who revealed that grace to us. And with the help of the Holy Spirit living in us, may we guard the good treasure entrusted to us.
In the name of the One who saved us and called us with a holy calling, we pray.
Amen.
