Lord Jesus Christ
Lord Jesus Christ,
we thank you that through your passion,
death and resurrection
you have redeemed the world.
We offer ourselves for the renewal of this world
that you created with your Father and the Spirit.
We confess
that we too stand continually in need of redemption.
In order to cooperate with the redemptive work
you have begun among us,
we dedicate ourselves to you.
We take your commitment to life as our own,
in complete fidelity to the will of your Father.
Accept this day as we spend it in prayer,
work and study
on behalf of others.
Through this service
may we make your name known
as the source of all life.
Give us the strength to serve your people.
Amen.
