MORNING PRAYER
Today we will
reflect on our spiritual theme of Love. Jesus gives us the greatest
commandment: to Love God and each other. Loving others can be difficult,
but it is what we are asked to do. We are even asked to love our
enemies.
Loving
God,
Help us always
to believe in your love,
and help us know
that nothing we could do
will make you
love us less.
Help us remember
that when we love others,
we are one with
you.
We ask this
through Jesus
who showed us
how to love completely.
Amen
