Colossians 3:12-14

Dear Father,

Grant that we may clothe ourselves with Christ, for he is a garment of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness and patience, forbearance and forgiveness.

Above all, clothe us with his love, which will bind us together in perfect harmony.

In the name of Jesus. Amen.
