The Father of mercies,
you have given me
an example of unselfish love
in the sufferings of your only Son.
Through my service of you and my neighbor
may I receive your countless blessings.
I believe that by his dying
Christ destroyed death for ever.
May he give me everlasting life.
He humbled himself for my sake.
May I follow his example
and share in his resurrection.
May your blessing be upon me,
almighty God,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Amen
