Image of the invisible God –
You are the firstborn of all creation.
In You, all things in heaven and on earth were created. In You, all things hold together. In You, God’s fullness dwelled with pleasure.
Through You and the work of the cross, God reconciles and makes peace with all things in heaven and on earth.
No longer estranged, may all creation embrace its holiness. No longer estranged, may we continue in our securely established and steadfast faith. No longer estranged, may we maintain the gospel’s hope.
Hidden and revealed mystery –
How great and glorious it is that You are in us. May we become Your servants and make Your word fully known.
Amen.
