18. Lord, • we thank you for all the love that has been given to us, for the love of family and friends, and above all for your love poured out upon us every moment of our lives in steadfast glory. Forgive our unworthiness.

19. Forgive the times we have disappointed those who love us, have failed them, wearied them, saddened them. Failing them we have failed you and hurting them we have wounded our Savior who for love’s sake died for us.

20. Lord, have mercy on us, and forgive. You do not fail those who love you. You do not change nor vary. Teach us your own constancy in love, your humility, selflessness, and generosity.

21. Look in pity on our small and tarnished loving, Jesus, and teach us how to love as only you can. In your name we pray. Amen.
