Eternal Father, we thank You for Your great love.
You give the world the best of Yourself,
the mirror of Your perfect transparency,
the splendor of Your very being,
Your Son Jesus.
We thank you for giving Jesus as our SavioUr,
not as a tyrant, but as a friend,
not as a superior but as a brother.
Help us open our Hearts to His light
without fear of being overwhelmed
but exultant with the joy that comes
from this light upon all who accept it with gladness.

Amen.
