Son of Man and Son of God -
You move us from condemnation to salvation…from darkness to light.
Forgive us for loving darkness rather than light.
Held by Your love, may we move toward the light and allow the exposure of our deeds to become a healing balm for our individual and collective souls.
Held by Your love, may our belief in You lead us from lives that perish toward lives that abundantly flourish - toward eternal lives that begin here on earth.
Held by Your love, may we look toward You lifted up on the cross - like the serpent Moses lifted up in the wilderness - and live.
In the name of our incarnate God, we pray.
Amen.
