Heir of all things, creator of worlds,
reflection of God's glory, sustainer of all things,
imprint of God's being, purifier of sins,
sufferer of death, pioneer of our salvation,
pinnacle of our praise,
how is it then that you call us
sisters and brothers?

Bathers at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Prayer based on Hebrews 1:1-4; 2:5-12
