you entered human history
in the person of Jesus of Nazareth.
Through Jesus, you invited us
to an intimate friendship with you.
We thank you for that gift
and pray that the divine life
that is revealed to us in him
will inspire us and support us
as we carry out your will each day.
Help us to reflect your love to others
by being kinder and more affirming
to those we interact with each day.
Amen.
