Lord God, you have taught us that anything we do without love is worth nothing, for whoever lives without love is counted dead before you; send your Holy Spirit, and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of love, the true bond of peace and of all virtues; grant this for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ who is alive with with you and the Holy Spirit, one God now and for ever. Amen.Prayer based on 1 Cor. 13 and attributed to Thomas Cranmer, who was executed at Oxford on March 21, 1556. This version is from the prayer book of the Anglican Church of New Zealand.
