Merciful God,  
 you have prepared for those who love you  
 such good things as pass our understanding:  
 pour into our hearts  
 such love toward you  
 that we, loving you in all things  
 and above all things,  
 may obtain your promises,  
 which exceed all that we can desire;  
 through Jesus Christ  
 your Son our Lord,  
 who is alive and reigns with you,  
 in the unity of the Holy Spirit,  
 one God, now and for ever.  
 **Amen**
