Jesus, we who are your friends, thank you
for being our friend. Hand in hand, together we follow
you, as we journey ever deeper into the mystery that is God.
Thank you for your gifts and your call to us as a group.
Breathe your life in us, that all may be renewed. Be
our light, that all may find their way. Enfold us in love,
that all may know your peace. May we grow closer to you
and, more open to your Spirit, so that we touch others'
hearts with your love, in ways we may never know.
Amen.
