A Mother's Love


Lord, love us,
and let us love
with a mother’s love,
with a divine love.

Let us love
with a love
that is patient.

Let us love
with a love
that is kind.

Give us
the strength

to give way,
to step aside,
to sacrifice

and expect
nothing
in return.

Let us love
with a love
that never shouts.

Rather let us love
with a love that sings.

Let us love
with a love
that stands with
us in the storm.

Let us love
with a love
that endures.

Let us love, Lord,
with hope,
that same hope
that loved us first
when we were still
and then kicking
in the womb.

Love us, Lord,
and let us love
with a mother’s love,
the closest to divine
love we will ever see.

Amen.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
