Help us to truly open our hearts to Your mercy and grace. Remind us again of Your great love and presence in our lives. Forgive us our foolishness and our stubbornness. Create in us new spirits, filled with Your love, offering peace and hope to all in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

He descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
