Creator God, when we
consider the wonders of the universe,
what are we human
beings, that you are mindful of us?
What are we mortals,
that you should care for us?
Yet you have redeemed
us, sending your Son,
who was tested by
suffering (and is able
to help us when we are
tested) and
who will save us from
our sin.
