Love Abiding Citizens

God of Love, thank you for loving us to the end. You prefer to apply the law of love than just the law of the land. You offer your life to save us, while sometimes we only give when expecting something in return. May we do everything out of love. Make us faithful members your church and make us godly citizens, responsible enough to fulfill our social duties.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus, your Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever.    

Amen.

Fr. Edgar Benedi-an, OSM
