Great Father above, who desires that all might live in your good kingdom, may we turn from our foolish and harmful ways and seek your wisdom, that we would enjoy the goodness of living by your laws and know that they fit the shape of our very souls, through Christ our redeemer, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
‘From that time Jesus began to proclaim, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”‘ – Matthew 4:17
