| God
our Father, your Son accepted the mission you gave him and fulfilled it to the end. It has cost him everything he had and was, but it also gave him everything: the lasting glory of the resurrection and the gift of life for all of us. We thank you for the supreme revelation of your love in his death. We ask you in his name to be drawn to him and to be pulled out of our selfishness. Give us faith in the fruitfulness of his way of life. Teach us to live love not as an easy word but as a genuine, costly deed. Thus may his mission come to fulfillment in each of us, today and every day, for ever and ever. Amen. van
