Let us pray.
Thou Beginning and End of all things seen and unseen: endlessly submersing, supporting, surrounding, sustaining; thou who createst even those spirits who choose to do evil, in their guile still calling them sternly, respectfully, with longing love by name; how much more we might have known thee had we looked into the eyes of those whom we hate and felt love; how much more we might have been like thee had we seen thy saving face in those whom we feared, frantically seeking them out and confronting them with the truth of your grace when they spited us even unto death: indeed, even in our remorseless coldheartedness thou lovest us and them equally, knowing in the Word of thy Heart that all are thine through Jesus Christ our Lord in the unity of the Holy Spirit, O God, world without end.
Amen.
