Holy Spirit, please lead my hand.

1 John 2

Father,

If i have hated my brother and sister, if i have denied them compassion, then i am indeed in darkness and have never left it. I want to abide in the Light, Father. If i have not shown love to my brothers and sisters, by Your Holy Spirit please purge it out of me. Make me more loving to my spiritual family, please? Whatever envy, malice, hatred, lust, murderings; please boil them to the surface and scum them off. Free me please, this wretched sinner, from any absence of love that exists in my heart. For this communion we take of Your Son, Jesus Christ; we don't eat it alone.

Please bless this bread that is Jesus' body given for us.

Please bless this wine which is His blood which was poured out for the remission of sins; of the new covenant.

We repent of our lack of love, Father. Grow in us more love for each other by Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus name amen.
