Macc 7: 1-2, 9-14; Psalm 17:1,5-6,8,15; 2; Thess 2:16-3:5; Luke 20:27-38

God
of the living
we enter
your eternal life
no longer
given to death
and suffering
of this life
even as we die
at the hands of men
we are restored
in you
delivered
from confusion
delivered
from evil
your faith
strengthens
and guides us
you rule
our heart
with love
content in your presence
our joy is full
in the shadow
of your wing

Are you consoled and strengthen by God?
Are you willing and ready to give your life to God?
Do you see yourself resurrected in God’s love and peace?
