God our Beloved,
you hold out your hands
with the wounds that mark your solidarity with us,
to accept us into your arms as one spouse takes another.
We will cling to you without fear,
for you will never reject us,
and you will never swallow up our selfhood in yours.
Rather, you delight in what we are,
the true selves you fashioned and free us to be.
May we graft our lives to yours,
while learning to love ourselves as we are.
May we be yours forever, liberated from fear and doubt
and thus empowered to be your love for the world.
Amen.
