Collect
Jesus, your ways are not our ways.
You are the Jewish boy,
you are the questioning child the parents lost.
Make us willing to listen
and humble in what we believe is right.
Amen.
Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Eternal God,
grant to us this day and every day
such readiness and delight in following Christ,
that whether our lives are short or long
we shall have lived abundantly.
Amen.
The Blessing
May Christ the Son of God, gladden our hearts
with the good news of God’s Kingdom.
Amen.
