One: O God, sometimes you surprise us.

All: When we think we've done enough,

     when we think we've done all we can possibly do,

One: You call us to show mercy even to our enemies.

All: You teach us to give justice to the weak and to the orphan.

One: You lead us to defend the rights of poor and homeless people.

All: You send us out to rescue the weak and the needy.

One: Keep surprising us in new and different ways,

All: That we might move closer to carrying out your will on earth. Amen.

               from Psalm 82:3,4 and Luke 10:37
