Lord of all -
Forgive us for being more concerned about who will ascend into heaven and who will descend into the abyss.
For the power of Your salvation is what we proclaim on our lips and on our hearts here and now.
May we confess the power of Your resurrection, and may that radical truth save and transform our present lives.
May we remember that You transcend all distinctions, that You are the same Lord who is of all, and that You are abundantly generous to all who call on You.
And, may we proclaim this beautiful and good news of salvation for all who call Your name.
Amen.
