Lord, you who love, help us in our mission to understand the opportunities to love.
To love spontaneously those we meet with our gaze and our heart.

To love deeply with a generous gift those for whom we are sent.
To love and cherish those who are despised, unknown or wronged.

To love the less gifted, the least attractive and the least interesting.
To love more vividly, more delicately those no one loves.

To love the unhappy and relieve them in all their sufferings.
To love and to understand with tact and kindness those whose soul is wounded.

To love discreetly those who will never know the love that we give them.
To stubbornly love those who refuse God, so as to reveal your love to them.

To love without growing tired those who have closed themselves, in order to open their hearts.
Loving and showing each person how much you love them on earth.
