‘Make us Christ-like, O God,
not merely people who name the name of Jesus.
Give us your Holy Spirit
so that we, too, may take up our cross,
bear within ourselves the cost of sin and
allow new relationships and a new world to be born –
By forgiving others, even as we ask them and you to forgive us.
Amen’
