Gracious God, whose love transforms the hardness of our hearts, free us from the sins and pains of those who came before us, that we would be free to love you and our neighbors from a pure heart as you have desired from the beginning, through Jesus our brother, who gave us wisdom for true life and now abides in love with you and the Holy Spirit forever. Amen.
‘In those days they shall no longer say: “The parents have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.”‘ – Jer. 31:29
