Let us before the God of tenderness and of love offer the prayers of who we are, and name those times when we have not responded to God’s love.
A silence is kept
Jesus Christ, the face of God to us,
in you we see God's love reflected:
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Jesus Christ, peace from God to us,
you bring reconciliation to the whole world:
Christ, have mercy. Christ, have mercy.

Have mercy on us, Lord,
in your compassion and lead us to the joys of everlasting life. Amen.
