Lord Jesus, you taught us secrets of the Kingdom.
I don't know all of them, but one is that surely
God is good to all, and God's compassion
is over all that God has made.
Related to the first secret, God is near
to all who call on God in truth.
To rescue us from the power of darkness
God has transferred us into your
kingdom, O Beloved Son,
in whom we have
redemption,
forgiveness
of sins.
O Suffering Servant, teach us to follow
you, and be God's servants,
as we attempt to make
these secrets known
to everyone.
