Gracious Father, who sits as judge over all, have mercy on our sins and failings, for we know that you judge righteously and without favor. Grant us wisdom to live well under your law and your ways, through Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in righteousness and majesty forever. Amen.
‘If you invoke as Father the one who judges impartially according to each person’s work, live in fear during the time of your exile.’ – 1 Peter 1:17
