Eternal Father,
I offer you the body and blood
soul and divinity
of your dearly beloved son,
our Lord Jesus Christ
in atonment for our sins
and those of the whole world.
For the sake of his sorrowful passion,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world.
Lord,
whose heart is big enough to hold the whole world,
have mercy on Terri and her family,
bind the hands of the wicked,
and bring us who love you
home with you at last,
Amen.
Amen. That was beautiful Kitting!
Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Good shepherd, who searches for every lost lamb,
who guards us from the lion and bear,
who brings us into the fold
of his own true heart,
watch especially over our sister Terri
who walks even now
through the valley of the shadow of death,
who beset on all sides
finds nowhere to turn.
You are her shepherd, Lord,
with your rod and staff,
smite the dark ones away,
bring her safe into your fold,
keep her ever with you,
Amen.
