From you, through you, to you are all
things.
You love righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of your
steadfast love.
When we set out from our comfortable
place,
may we see you in the hungry or thirsty,
in the stranger or the naked or sick,
see you in the lonely prisoner;
and having seen you, dear Lord,
may we remember your steadfast love
and your love for righteousness and justice.
Then following you, we will know the way
to go.
To you be the glory forever. Amen.
