Forgiving God, you
make your sun rise
on the evil and on
the good; you send your
rain on the righteous
and on the unrighteous.
We declare your steadfast
love in the morning,
your faithfulness by
night. Lift the cloud
that surrounds us as we
set out
on the next stage of
our journey:
to love more and more
our brothers
and sisters, and even
to love our enemies,
so we may be children
of our Father in heaven.
