Lord Jesus Christ, only son of God, grant us faith to trust in you, that we might follow your ways and obey your commands, receiving through your words, your ways, and your life the undying life that you have promised, through you who live and reigns with the Father and Holy Spirit, one God in glory forever. Amen. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” – John 3:16
