Pastoral Prayer for March 26, 2023

So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

God our Father, grant us:

The faith that is not afraid of asking questions;

The faith that seeks in order to find;

The faith that you are unequivocally good.

The hope which will never despair;

The hope that no disappointment can quench;

The hope which in spite of failure will never give in.

The love which is always ready to forgive;

The love which is always eager to help;

The love which is always happier to give than to get.

And so grant that living in faith, in hope, in love, we may live like Jesus.

Amen.
