Come into our locked rooms and breathe into us your forgiving Spirit. Reawaken our trust and strengthen our hope, that we may be witnesses to your saving power. Amen.
P: Peace be with you, sisters and brothers. In baptism you have received a spirit of adoption; you are God’s beloved children. In the name of Jesus Christ + your sins are forgiven. Rejoice, and welcome this freedom as a gift.
