How deeply you have loved us, Jesus;

how willingly you stepped into our experience,

how completely you empathised with all that we endure.

Teach us to love as you have loved us.

 

How sacrificially you have loved us, Jesus;

how completely you gave yourself for us,

how courageously you suffered for our sakes.

Teach us to love as you have loved us.

 

How restoratively you have loved us, Jesus;

how generously you share your life,

how extravagantly you make yourself available to us.

Teach us to love as you have loved us.

 

We praise you for your love

which is given so freely and so unconditionally.

And we thank you for believing

that we could learn to offer such love

to each other.

Amen.
