Loving Lord, who created us out of your desire and joy, may we place ourselves before you without ceasing, that we would know and experience the love you have for us and be made like you, transformed by the grace, mercy, and love that overflow from your nature, through you who lives with the Father and Holy Spirit in perfect joy and communion, world without end. Amen. ‘As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.’ – John 15:9
