Spirit of God, who enlightens our eyes and warms our hearts, grant us sight to recognize that your reign and your ways are not far from us, that we would be encouraged at your presence and earnestly desire to enter into your will, through Christ our Lord, who lives with you and the Father in perfect joy forever and ever. Amen.
“As you go, proclaim the good news, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’” – Matthew 10:7
