Eternal God, you are
the light of the minds that know you,
the light of the souls that love you,
the strength of the wills that serve you;
help us to know you so that we may truly love you,
to love you so that we may fully serve you,
and find that serving you is perfect freedom.

Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love
