Righteous God, who has blessed us with goodness and love and justice, may we bless the world with that same love and justice, that we might be emissaries of your goodness and drawing the world to you and the life you offer, through Christ our redeemer, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in perfect joy forever and ever. Amen.
‘I am the LORD; I have called you in righteousness; I have taken you by the hand and kept you; I have given you as a covenant to the people, a light to the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.’ – Isa. 42:6-7
