Lord Jesus Christ, you proclaimed by word and example the loving, liberating, and life-giving good news of God, that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, following you in that way of evangelism, may be transformed as we seek, name, and celebrate your loving presence in the stories of all people, and strive for more of you and your kingdom; and all for your love’s sake. Amen.
