The following is an excerpt from a meditation by Joyce Rupp
Containers of Divine Love
God of affection, devotion, passion, tenderness, and all forms of love, this day we thank you for the myriad ways that we have been given a touch of your goodness. We thank you for your many beneficent gestures:
...love that draws us to friendship and fidelity,
...love that leads us to kindness and compassion,
...love that lures us toward the sacred and serene,
...love that soothes our heartaches and gentles our pain,
...love that sees worth in each human being,
...love that believes in us and whispers with hope,
...love that longs for peace among all humankind,
...love that surprises and fills us with awe,
...love that urges us to take risks and have courage,
...love that embraces the shadow in us,
...love that ripens our souls for the final journey home.
Source of Love, we offer thanks for how you are abiding in all of these forms of love. May the hearts we give and receive this Valentine's Day remind us of you, the One Great Heart, holding us all in the tenderness of your love.
