We Share God’s Peace

God our Father, slow to anger,

abounding in mercy,

you find your way to us when we cannot find our way to you,

you are always faithful when we are unfaithful.

Jesus Christ, you entered the house of sinners,

you sat at the table of the poor,

you accepted the Cross, your throne of mercy.

Holy Spirit, you pour your healing gifts over our wounds,

you anoint us to bring good news to the poor,

you send us out as missionaries of mercy.

God of Mercies, have mercy on us, so that where sin abounds your grace may abound all the more,

and we shall become merciful like you. Amen.
