God Our Father, in the tests of love we find ourselves wanting. We retreat too often in the deeper matters of life. We ask what is in it for me and miss the labor of love. For the labor of love asks what can I give. Teach us to move from our selfishness to self-sacrifice, so that all of our thoughts and all of our deeds are focused upon making life richer for others. Bless us with the anointing power of Your love that goes with us to see what the end shall be. We know that in Your awesome love for us you are always laboring to meet us at our greatest need. You are always striving with us to manifest Your goodness in our lives. Forgive us when we waste the precious gift of Your tenderness. Forgive us when our sense of self gets into the way. Remind us of Your love that came into the world so that we might be saved. In His Name we pray, Amen.
