Father,
We desire
public esteem
We desire
to be praised for our wisdom
We even
desire radical generosity
But they
are nothing without love.
We do not
desire patience and kindness.
Keep us
from envy, boasting, pride, rudeness, self-seeking, anger and hatred.
Make our
hearts to delight in truth,
To always
protect,
To be
full of trust, hope and perseverance.
May we
look not at what is temporary but at what is eternal.
May we contemplate the cross and your love that is the source and foundation of all love
For your glory alone
Amen
