Merciful God, you made us in your image, with a mind to know you, a heart to love you, and a will to serve you.  But our knowledge is imperfect, our love inconstant, our obedience incomplete.  Day by day, we fail to grow into your likeness.  In your tender love, forgive us through Jesus Christ, our Lord.  Amen.
