Risen Lord, You heal our
broken hearts and give us peace.
Help me to be a source of encouragement
to those troubled by pain and suffering.
Loving Jesus, Your abiding presence gives us hope.
Help me to be a loving presence to others.
Mighty Lord, You command us to love as you have loved.
Cleanse my heart of pride, selfishness, and prejudice
so that I may love unconditionally.
