Eternal God, our heavenly Father, we thank you for the mighty span of your love, reaching from the beginning of time to the end of time, broad and long, deep and high, setting free your creation to become what you mean it to be.
We do not yet see that liberation completed: but because of Jesus we are brought to the faith that it will be completed.
Let the assurance of your grace be a light of hope to us however black the shadows about our path.
And use us, Father, in the fulfillment of the vision you have granted to us.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
