Let us pray...
God of all our hearts,
open your heart that we might see in yours
the beauty of each and every one created in your image.
As a a mother holds her child to her breast,
hold us close to you and one another
that our hearts might beat as one with yours
and the breath of the Spirit be the joy of our lives.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
