Pastor:
Lord God, again and again we are struck by your graciousness, which goes so far beyond fairness and ordinary justice, that we constantly find our usual values turned upside down.
Assistant: We praise you for regarding each of us through your love, not judging us by comparing us with others.
People:
Grant us a proper sense of awe at your mighty love, which rewards everyone with the same gift of eternal life.
Assistant: We seek your help, that we not become careless about response to you, thinking we can turn to you at a later time.
