Thank you, Lord, for the gifts we receive freely – the very things that give life its depth and its flavour:
a smile, flowers in a myriad of colours and scents.
Thank you for love that is always ready to spring forth, for the joy of forgiveness, and for the possibility of reconciliation.
We pray to you: raise the rainbow of your Tenderness above our darkness, that it may bind us to You and
to one another in an unbreakable brotherhood. We ask this through Jesus, our Brother and Friend.
