Gracious and loving God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit:

We praise you for how wide, how high,

and how deep is Your vast love for all people.

Incarnate in Jesus, You offered Your life

for the healing of the world through the forgiveness of all our sins.

Your arms outstretched on the cross embrace us all

as Your love transcends our divisions and differences.

Breaking out of the tomb, You broke the powers that bind us

and released us to live new and free.

Your wide and welcoming love for all challenges us.

Forgive us when we find it hard…
