President We praise you, Lord God, Father all-holy
You sent your Son into our world
to gather, by the shedding of his blood,
those whom the destructive power of sin had scattered.
You sent him to unite us and to draw us by sacrament
and sign into the wonder of your divine life.
Bless Tracey Sheppard, who has designed
and made this window.
May all who look upon her work
recognize the powerful sign of the Cross.
Lead us to reflect that the Cross is the seed
of the glory of our salvation,
the promise of resurrection life in Christ.
Draw near, we pray, to all your servants
as they recognize in this place
the sign of their faith and devotion;
Grant that we may be transformed
into the likeness of Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever.
