Lord, hear! Lord, forgive! Lord, act! Hear what I do not speak. Forgive what I speak wrong. Do what I leave undone. Let all things work, not according to my words or my deeds, but according to your mercy and truth, for the glory and the good of your kingdom. Amen.
Maria Hare (1798-1870). Revised from Prayers Ancient and Modern.
Almighty and eternal God, you reveal your nature in Christ Jesus your Son as love. Give us your Holy Spirit, that we may glorify you as love in our hearts. Move us by your divine power to love you with heart, soul, mind, and strength, and our neighbors as ourselves. Fill us with love by your grace, that we may always remain in you and you in us, with all joy, free from fear or distrust; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
