Let us lay aside every weight to run the race. Let us look to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Our God is moving before us to the periphery, running to embrace the world. Let us follow. Song Turn to God - the God of the cross and the crib.
Love lies waiting in the womb, the womb of the faithful one.
Love lies waiting for a place to be born among us, even us. Come, prince of peace. Come, Lord Jesus. Benediction Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. In the name of Christ.
