We love him because he first loved us.
—1 John 4:19
Loving Father,
Keep my vision centered on Jesus:
on the cradle of his birth,
the garden of his agony,
the cross of his suffering,
the tomb of his resurrection,
the heaven of his intercession.
He gave himself for me.
Inspire me to give myself for him.
He died for me.
Impassion me to live for him.
He represents me in heaven.
Invigorate me to reflect him on earth.
You have loved me with inexhaustible love.
Impel me to love you as I am loved.
Amen.
His impassioned love calls for my passionate praise.
