Glorious the grace that refuses to wait
until we deserve or earn it;
Glorious the grace that refuses to be rejected
and that remains always available, always inviting;
Glorious the grace that refuses to be confined
to places of privilege or dignity,
civility or decency.
Glorious the grace that reaches where law cannot go,
Glorious the grace that embraces the comfortable and the untouchable,
Glorious the grace that is equally at home in palaces and shacks,
Glorious the grace that is undiminished and undeterred
by the variety of need,
the diversity of the needy,
or the myriad languages in which
its message must be spoken.
Jesus, Grace-Giver, we are in awe of you
and the grace which you offer to all
whoever we may be.
Amen.
