Canticle: Ephesians 1: 3-10: We bless the God and Father of Jesus
We bless the God and Father of Jesus
for he has blessed us freely in Christ.
He chose to lavish spiritual blessings from highest heaven.
All this through Christ.
Long before founding all of creation,
God made his plan and chose us in Christ,
that we be holy, blameless and loving, children adopted.
All this through Christ.
God’s will is always that we might love him,
source of all graces, witnessed in Christ; love manifested,
gift of redemption, pardon for sinners.
All this through Christ.
Out of his wisdom God chose to tell us
his loving purpose set forth in Christ::
time has it’s fullness; God and creation
will be united. All this through Christ.
