Deuteronomy 7:6,8-9 It is you that the Lord our God has chosen to be his very own people out of all the peoples on the earth. It was for love of you and to keep the oath he swore to your fathers that the Lord brought you out with his mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know then that the Lord your God is God indeed, the faithful God who is true to his covenant and his graciousness for a thousand generations towards those who love him and keep his commandments. Blessed be Christ our Savior. In him we become a new creation, the old order passes and all things are renewed. Let us pray in living hope. – Renew us, Lord, in your Spirit. You promised us, Lord, a new heaven and a new earth; renew us in your Spirit, that we may come to the new Jerusalem and rejoice in you for ever. – Renew us, Lord, in your Spirit. Let us work with you to fill the world with your Spirit; let us perfect our earthly city in justice, charity and peace. – Renew us, Lord, in your Spirit. Grant that we may put aside our apathy; help us to recognize with joy the power you have given us. – Renew us, Lord, in your Spirit. Set us free from all evil; show us in the confusion of our lives the things that really matter. – Renew us, Lord, in your Spirit. Schooled by our Lenten observance, Lord, and nourished on your word, may we give you whole-hearted service through our self-denial, and through our prayer become one in heart and mind. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
