Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation! Through your goodness we are privileged to share in the Life, Death and Resurrection of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

Make us more aware of Your constant presence in our world and in our lives. Help us to die to ourselves so we can live more fully the new life you offer us.

Bless all who participate in the TEC retreats, and all the members of their families. Help us to know your unconditional love for us and guide us to share this love with others.
​
We pray all these things in the name of Jesus, who is our Brother and our Savior, now and forever. Amen.
