Reading – John 7:11-17 and 1 John 4:7-10
Prayer – A prayer of Persevering Love
________
Father, you love with an everlasting love, because you are love itself.
Your love sustains the sun and the other stars,
You are the loving life of all that is.
In love you call us into being, you sustain us in our freedom,
Even when we exercise that freedom to turn our backs on you.
Teach us to love as you love, to love without limit or reserve
Teach us to love with love that sets the loved one free,
To love with love that seeks to give, not to take.
Teach us to love not only those who love us,
But also those who hate or are indifferent to us.
Teach us to be patient when our love is not returned,
and teach us to love and trust you,
Even when we feel your absence,
and feel you are not there.
Amen
