Take some silent time to think about today’s gospel and your responses to the reflections of the group.
LEADER: Jesus, you became one of us to reveal all we humans can be.
ALL: Let us never lose sight of the power of love to give birth to peace, justice, and human community.
LEADER: Let us envision and empower with faith situations about which we feel powerless.
Add prayers in a Prayer of the Faithful format. Respond:
ALL: Keep us safe in your love.
LEADER: God, you are our beginning and end. You are creative and dynamic, the hope of the hopeless and power of the powerless.
ALL: Keep us safe in your love.
