O God, who loved us enough to send Your Son to live among us,
help us to celebrate today that Your great love continues to reach
out toward us, whether we are steadfastly faithful or have gone astray.
Help us to rejoice with You when the lost are found, and to welcome
one another into Your loving and gracious presence here and wherever
we may go this week. In the name of Jesus the Christ, Your Son our Savoir,
we pray, Amen.
