Lord, hear our prayer:

Lord, we thank you for those whose love has set others free and enabled their neighbor to find fulfilment, hope, joy and peace. We thank you most of all for the life of Christ and the evidence we see in him of your love that will never let us off, never let us go and never let us down. We thank you that you are willing to receive our love in return and to use even us as channels of your mercy, forgiveness and grace. By your Holy Spirit, fill us with the power of your love, that others may enter into that experience of life-changing love that comes from you alone. This we ask in the name of Christ.

Amen.
