Prayer - Creator of Love
Creator of Love,
it is you who first loved us -
making it possible for us to love one
another despite our weaknesses.
Bless the love in our families and in
our friendships and help us to come
to know you through the love we
experience in one another.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
