Father of mercy and power, we thank You for nourishing us with the Body and Blood of Christ and for calling us to share in His divine life. By the power of the Holy Spirit, You anointed Your only Son Messiah and Lord of Creation. Help us to be faithful witnesses in the world to the salvation Christ won for all humankind. Through Your grace may we believe in and follow Christ more faithfully and come to the joy of Your Kingdom. Amen
