SEDRA
• L. O Creator of Heaven and Earth, who made Adam, male and female. In
the Garden of Eden, You mysteriously created us from the dust of the
earth, eternally redeemed us by making us in the image of God, and
sustained us by sacrificing Your breath so that we might breathe through
You. When we rebelled and sinned against You, we became ashamed of
ourselves and tried to hide. Yet, You called us out of the darkness of
hiding and into the light of Your unconditional love. In the vast expanse of
the sky, You painted a rainbow with all the colors of the human race; a
reminder to us that it is not Your desire to see creation perish. In Jesus,
You have granted us pardon from our sins and liberation from bondage. In
Christ, You have prepared the Lamb of God as a Holy Sacrifice. We praise
You for creating the first Adam as a living being and redeeming us through
the second Adam who gives us life through the Holy Spirit. We will offer
praise and thanksgiving to You, to the Father and to the Holy Spirit both
now and forever.
• P. Amen.
