 MORNING PRAYER

A prayer that is based on the words of St. Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians:

 

Loving Father,

Thank you for loving us so completely. 

You teach us that love is patient and kind,

generous and compassionate,

and that it is never rude or boastful. 

Sometimes it is hard to love like that. 

When others are difficult to love,

help us see them though your eyes. 

When we’re difficult to love,

help others see you in us. 

Thank you for the example of Jesus,

who showed us how to love without judging. 

We ask for your help in this mission to love.  

Amen
