That We May Follow

Infinite God, our Father, whose tender mercy is revealed for all in your Son Jesus Christ: We come to you in fairh, not because of our worthiness but because your goodness invites us.  As we look at Christ's  endurance and faith throughout pain and death, we see a mercy which makes us realize that we have not loved you nor our neighbors with our whole heart.  We have complained about our small burdens when Christ bore the sins of the whold world!  Speak to us a word of forgiveness and create in us clean hearts and renew a right spirit within us.  We pray in Christ's most blessed name.  Amen.
