THE REVEALER ,
showing Himself as Love,

sharing our experiences of life,
THE BABY ,
so fragile in a manger in Bethlehem,
THE CARPENTER ,
leading a normal life in Nazareth,
THE BELOVED ,
in whom we find delight,
THE CALL ,
announcing a kingdom of love and justice,
THE TEACHER ,
stepping on board our boat,

A prayer to thank God for his goodnessGod is THE ALMIGHTY ,
asking for our few loaves to feed all,
THE BREAD ,
nourishing us on the way,
THE MASTER ,
calling us His friends,
THE KING ,
washing our feet when we betray Him,
THE ONE ,
bringing unity in loving all of us,
THE LAMB ,
challenging us with His surrender,

THE RISEN ONE ,
overcoming the world,
THE DAWN ,
ruling out the darkness of our nights,
God is THE I AM ,

THE PRESENCE ,
wrapping all time and space,
THE ABSOLUTE ,
abiding in our heart,
THE CREATOR ,
finding delight in us,
