Litany<\/h3>\n

(inspired by 1 John 4:19<\/a>, John 15:12<\/a>)<\/p>\n

How deeply you have loved us, Jesus;
\nhow willingly you stepped into our experience,
\nhow completely you empathised with all that we endure.
\nTeach us to love as you have loved us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How sacrificially you have loved us, Jesus;
\nhow completely you gave yourself for us,
\nhow courageously you suffered for our sakes.
\nTeach us to love as you have loved us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How restoratively you have loved us, Jesus;
\nhow generously you share your life,
\nhow extravagantly you make yourself available to us.
\nTeach us to love as you have loved us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We praise you for your love
\nwhich is given so freely and so unconditionally.
\nAnd we thank you for believing
\nthat we could learn to offer such love
\nto each other.
\nAmen.<\/strong>
