With praise and adoration we enter your temple; thanksgiving spills from our lips as we approach your majesty.  You are God who creates in splendor; holy and blessed is your glorious name.  With your Spirit to guide us we shall strive to enter the narrow door, following Christ’s teachings and the call to obey.  Receive now these offerings as signs of our commitment, of our unceasing gratitude for the gifts you bestow.
