O God, your justice and love extend far beyond human understanding. In awe we pray: 

Lavish your love upon us, O God.  

Heal the sick, comfort the afflicted, and restore wholeness to the brokenhearted. 

Lavish your love upon us, O God.  

Shower mercy upon those who suffer mental illness, and give patience to those who care for them. 

Lavish your love upon us, O God.  

Give joy and gladness to those who embrace the single vocation. 

Lavish your love upon us, O God.  

Our Father . . .  

May God grant us the ability to comprehend with all the holy ones the breadth and length and height and depth of Christ’s love for us. Amen.
