Dear Father, give me love!
May I one day possess fully all the qualities of love, as did your son, Jesus, the Messiah!
May I be patient and kind, not jealous or boastful, not arrogant or rude, not insisting on my own way, not ever irritable or resentful.
May I rejoice always in what is right, never in anything that is wrong.
Help me to bear all things and endure whatever I must, to trust in all circumstances, and to be hopeful in all trials.
By Jesus's authority I come to you, asking. Amen.
