O God, Source of all mercy! We acknowledge your sovereign power. While recalling the wasted years that are past, we believe that you, our Lord, can in an instant turn loss into gain. We firmly believe that you can do all things. Please restore to us the time lost, giving us your grace, your blessing, your mercy and your love, both now and in the future, that we may appear before you as a foundation stone of your faith community. Amen! (A prayer adapted from a prayer by St. Teresa of Avila)
