I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; 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.

O Holy God, we acknowledge to You, to ourselves, and to one another that we are not what You called us to be. We have not stood by our faith, shared our hope, or reached out with love. Instead, we have allowed ourselves to become blind to the world around us. Open our eyes that we may see the world as You see it, and know You as fully as we are known by You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
