Lord God,
We are all sinful and none of us deserve Your mercy.
But the degree of Your love for us is tremendous.
Our Lord Jesus looked at those who had faith and
immediately healed them and absolved them of their sins.
Through Jesus' death on the cross,
You offer us healing and absolution as well.
We praise You for Your greatness;
for loving us and forgiving us.
Teach us to be like You -
loving others and showing mercy.
In Jesus' name.
Amen
