GOD of care and compassion, we thank and praise YOU for the energy of HOLY SPIRIT breathed on the church to obey YOUR commission to be in the mission of forgiveness and love. We thank YOU for extending such an invitation through YOUR SON and our SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST to be an expression of mission in ourselves and work with the Holy Spirit to establish justice and peace in and through the mission of GOD. Build us as living stones of YOUR spiritual houses to be a holy priesthood in offering ourselves as spiritual sacrifices acceptable to YOU in JESUS CHRIST who reigns with YOU and the HOLY SPIRIT, one GOD, forever and ever.
Amen.
