*Opening Prayer
O Lord our God, you are always more ready to bestow your good gifts on us than we
are to seek them, and are willing to give more than we desire or deserve. Help us so
to seek that we may truly find, so to ask that we may joyfully receive, so to knock
that the door of your mercy may be opened to us; through Jesus Christ our Savior.
Amen.
