One who fully knows us –
Love abides and carries us through these days in which we dimly see and in which we only know in part.
May this Love shape us, so our words do not become clanging cymbals and noisy gongs. May we embody this Love otherwise we are nothing and we have nothing.
Shape us into patient and kind people – people who are not envious or arrogant or rude. People who do not carry resentment nor rejoice in wrongdoing. People who bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things.
For complete Love that never ends, we give thanks.
Amen.
