Prayer for Thursday 4-14-2022

Almighty and most merciful Father, You Who have given us a new commandment that we should love one another, give us also grace that we may fulfil it just as you have given example. Make us gentle, courteous, patient and compassionate. Direct our lives, so that each and every one of us may look to the good of others not just in word but also and especially in deed. And sanctify all of our friendships by the blessing of Your Spirit, for Christ Jesus’ sake, Who loved us and gave Himself for us, our Savior and Redeemer our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.
