God be with our family,
from the youngest to the oldest.
Light up our relationships,
sow grace into our troubles.

Lord,
the resurrection of your Son
has given us new life and renewed hope.
Help us to live as new people
in pursuit of the Christian ideal.

You sent your Son into the world,
and before his hour had come,
he washed his disciples’ feet.
You had given all things into his hands.

‘Come and follow me’
That’s what you ask us to do.
To lay down the things that won’t last,
that can’t save,
that don’t really matter.
