Holy Spirit of God, who knows the deep places of our hearts even better than we do, fill our hearts with gratitude, awe, and love at the willingness of Jesus to give himself for our sake, that in being so filled with that love, we might be willing to freely give of ourselves for one another as he demonstrated to us all, through him who was raised to new life and now reigns with the Father in you forever. Amen.
‘We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us–and we ought to lay down our lives for one another.’ – 1 John 3:16
