Christ, who is over all -
You came from the Israelites and enfold us into their rich heritage - a heritage that holds the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, the promises, and the patriarchs and matriarchs.
Our hearts hold great sorrow and unceasing anguish when children of Your promise are not counted as descendants.
Forgive us for prejudices that tear us away from our kindred. Remind us that You - the Messiah who came - are over all.
Amen.
