The Embrace

Let us pray
[for the courage to embrace the world in the name of Christ]
Father in heaven,
The love of your Son led him to accept the suffering of the cross
That his brothers might glory in new life.
Change our selfishness into self-giving.
Help us to embrace the world you have given us,
That we may transform the darkness of its pain
Into the life and joy of Easter.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
