Colossians 3:12-14
As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

Clothe me, Blessed Christ
in my chosenness
my holiness
my belovedness

Clothe me for your great work of love
in compassion and kindness
humility, meekness, and patience
ready to care and companion
ready to share and serve

Clothe me in forgivess
for all who have wronged me and your beloved
forgiveness for my enemies and myself

Clothe me so peace and harmony may be known by all
so all may come to your table and body
beautiful, broken
buried and raised and victorious

Clothe me in gratitude
in your abiding presence
in your nourishing word
in your wisdom
in your community of grace and growth

Clothe Me, Blessed Christ
So all I do, in word or deed, brings you honor
and honors all your children. Amen.
