You call us to wholeness, not brokenness –

as a Spirit of three-persons in one substance –

demanding that we speak truths

to one another:

our friends, our foes, ourselves.

That we must not rely on worldly comforts

and temporal ease,

instead finding rest and strength

in You

with community:

the good, the bad, the real.

Because you created us for wholeness,

not brokenness.

Amen.
