Luke 6:27-36 "Radical ways of Love"
A prayer, in the form of a collect, based on a Bible reading for today
A Collect based on Luke 6:27-36 (you can read the passage by clicking on this link)
God who loves without expectation or need,
You speak of radical ways of love that give birth to truth and justice, mercy and peace.
Help us discover this deep well of compassion and loving kindness within ourselves,
Because when we encounter the worst of ourselves in others and the worst of others in ourselves, we need a way forward.
Amen
I hope you have found this prayer a useful way to engage and respond to this well known “Love your enemies” passage from Luke. The “truth, justice, mercy , peace” come from Psalm 85:10 (referred to as the 4 daughters of God in medieval Christian writings).
