Jesus, Good Shepherd
of your flock,
in you we find favor;
in you
resides our unity.
If the blind man
regained his sight
and followed you,
will you not
restore our ability
to see--
we who flatter
ourselves
in our own eyes?
Inspire us to see, O
Christ, how all things
belong to us, and we
belong to you,
and you belong to
God.
