Repairer of the Breach

God of reconciliation,
you created a perfect world that quickly became full of sin,
man in your image, who soon became your enemy:
Turn our selfish hearts back to you,
and restore us to a right relationship,
that we might receive your love and love you once again;
through Jesus Christ, the Repairer of the Breach,
who, with you, fills us with the Holy Spirit
to love your creation to death
and resurrection. Amen.
