Blessed are you, Jesus, who was not ashamed to call us your brothers and sisters,
and who welcomes us into your Presence again this morning.
Blessed are you, who comes to dwell in our daily lives with your light,
clothing our hearts with your tenderness.
Blessed are you, Jesus, who invites all human beings to your table,
the nameless, the lowly, and even the loveless
that we sometimes are.
Blessed are you, who gives us your Holy Spirit to keep us in your invisible Presence
and strengthen the energies of life within us.
