Christian Reflection and Prayer

Verse

I give you a new commandment, that you love one
another. Just as I have loved you, you also should
love one another.
John 13:34

Voice

The beginning of love is the will to let those we love
be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist
them to fit our own image.
Thomas Merton

Prayer

Lord, you show us the same compassion and
commitment that a mother has for her tiny child.
Teach us to care so completely. Show us how to
delight in serving with the same joy you show in
nurturing our creation. Amen.
Common Prayer
