Opening Prayer
God of love,
take hold of us in this act of worship,
and do not let us go until we have been blessed by a vision of love,
infinitely generous, gentle and forgiving;
simple, wholesome, mysterious, profound;
in which all are accepted and no one rejected;
love that never ends.
Living God, Love itself,
live in our hearts now and forever. Amen.
