O God, we thank you
for Jesus, who is close to your heart.
No one has ever seen
you, but he made you known,
for he is the exact
imprint of your very being.
We thank you for
Jesus, the reflection of your glory,
who sustains all
things by his powerful word.
We thank you for
Jesus, who came to rescue the weak,
to deliver the needy
from the hand of the wicked.
We thank you for
Jesus, because through Jesus
we are able to love
you with all our heart,
with all our soul,
with all our might.
