Christ, Son of God -
May we lead lives worthy of our calling - lives of humility, gentleness, and patience…lives where we bear with one another in love…lives where we peacefully work to maintain the unity of the Spirit.
May we remember that we are one body and one Spirit - joined and knit together by every ligament equipped with gifts for the work of ministry.
You made captivity itself a captive. No longer captive to sin and freed by Your grace, may we use the gifts You give us for building up Your body in love.
One hope. One body. One Spirit. One Lord. One faith. One baptism. One God and Father of all.
May it be so.
Amen.
