III. Meditation: God of mercy, God of grace
May the meditation of our heart be understanding
and may our mouth speak wisdom, O God of mercy.
Make us like the wise man who built his house on rock;
there is no Rock like you, no one besides you, O Holy one.
Out of the great love with which you love us even when
we are dead through our trespasses, make us all alive
together with Christ, O God of grace who saves us.
