God, open up our hearts to be filled with love.
Open them up. Fill them with faith and hope,
and chase away our anxieties and fears.
Open up our hearts so we may do what you
intend us to do: love You with all our hearts,
souls and minds, and love all your creation.
Chase away the strife between us and allow
us to look at each other.
Open up our hearts to mercy for each other
and open up our hearts to peace.
Amen.
by Fr Patrick Sayles
