Prayer
(inspired by Luke
15:11-32)
Eternal
Lover of our wayward race,
you
open your arms to accept us
even
before we turn to meet your welcome;
you
invite us to forgiveness
even
before our hearts are softened to repentance.
Hold
before us the image of our humanity made new,
so
that we may live in Jesus Christ,
your
new creation. Amen.
