Love is patient, love is kind.
It is not jealous, it is not pompous,
It is not inflated, it is not rude,
it does not seek its own interests,
it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,
it does not rejoice over wrongdoing
but rejoices with the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.

(1 Cor. 12)

Lord, we pray Thee grant us a love that is always kind.
A love that brings us truth and joy and also peace of mind.
Take from us all jealous feelings. In truth may we abide.
Free us from all selfishness.  Free us from pompous pride.

We pray that over injuries, we may never ruminate or brood.
Help us control our tempers, and be mild, never rude.
Grant us the grace to hear Your loving Words, to answer Your loving call.
Grant us the grace to speak the truth with love and peace to all.

May we have the grace to bear all troubles, to bear all unpleasant things,
Dear Lord grant us the grace to soar in faith, give us holy wings,
That we may fly above our troubles, as we face so many trials.
That we may to another lend a loving hand or share a gentle smile.

Love bears all things, so grant us grace that all things we may bear.
Love hopes all things.  Grant us the grace to hope and always care.
May it be mercy that our open hearts readily receive.
May it be Your love to which we cling, Your truths which we believe.

May we keep within our hearts, in a way that’s ever-pure
a true love that lasts through time, that always will endure.
Faith, hope and love in the end remain—all given from above
But the greatest gift will always be Your precious gift of love.

Dear Jesus grant to us true love, a love that will prevail.
A love which lasts forever, and will never ever fail.
Give to our sons and daughters, a pure and holy love.
Give to them the true love, that comes only from above.

Dear Jesus, walk with them.  Beside them always stay.
Call them back to You.  May they no more be led astray.
May loved ones now live in truth, from truth no more depart.
May they at last find true love in Your Merciful Heart.
