Morning prayer · 31 May

Faith, hope and love

Three small watering cans in a row, each pouring into the next, growing one tiny plant that has a leaf, a bud, and a flower for faith, hope and love.

Almighty, eternal God, make our faith, our hope and our love grow. And so that we can receive what you promise, help us love what you command. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:13 (BSB)
