Into your heart, O God, we commend those who live on the edge, whether by choice or through no fault of their own.
Teach us to love, O Lover of life.
Into your rest, O God, we commend those who live in a whirlwind of activity.
Teach us to love, O Lover of life.
Into your presence, O God, we commend those we hurt, whether carelessly, unintentionally, or deliberately.
Teach us to love, O Lover of life.
Into your hands, O God, we commend our loved ones and the strangers in our midst.
Teach us to love, O Lover of life.
Into your depths, O God, we commend our inner lives and our outer journeys.
Teach us to love, O Lover of life.
