HAPPY VALENTINE’S
DAY!
May
boundless LOVE fill your hearts this day and all days! I give thanks to God for you all!
VALENTINE’S DAY PRAYER
Lord,
Because love is patient…
Help me to be slow to judge, but quick to
listen.
Hesitant to criticize, but eager to encourage, remembering
your endless patience with me.
Because love is kind…
Help my words
be gentle and my actions be thoughtful.
Remind me to smile and greet others warmly and kindly.
Help me to
speak words that are easy on the ear and on the heart. When I’m tempted to get wrapped up in my own
little world, remind me there’s a great big world out there full of needs and
hurts.
Help me to
forgive others as you have forgiven me.
When I want to hold onto a grudge, gently help me release it so I can
reach out with a hand of love instead.
Because love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth…
Help me stand
up for what is right and good. May I
defend the defenseless, and help the helpless.
Show me how I can make a difference.
Help me to be
a refuge for those around me. When the
world outside is harsh and cold, may my heart be a place of acceptance and
warmth.
Help my heart continually beat with love for
You and others. Thank you for this day
when we celebrate love, and for showing us what that word really means. Amen
(Cf. Cor. 13:4-7)
