    to believe that you can make a difference

    what you don’t think you can do, but,
    in Jesus Christ you’ll have all the strength necessary.

    Risen Jesus, help us to be human expressions of the God you proclaimed: a God who is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

    May we know deeply God's great love for us, and like God, lean toward those suffering, oppressed and poor.
