Loving God, who created us in your overflowing joy, may we find joy in one another as you find in us, that we would recognize the good that you have placed in each person and so find it natural to love one another well as is right and good in your blessed kingdom, through Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit enjoys perfect harmony in heaven, forever and ever. Amen.
‘How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy that we feel before our God because of you?’ – 1 Thes. 3:9
