Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Bear with each other and forgive one another
if any of you has a grievance against someone.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
And over all these virtues put on love,
which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Col.3:12-14
Do we hunt and chase it
Ponder and embrace it
Does its law of liberty ease our stress?
Make us understanding
Patient, undemanding
Do we suffer for it without bitterness?
Does it author kindness
And sympathy’s blindness
Does it safeguard longing against jealousy?
Does its cheerful giving
Grant guidelines for living
Does it mold Today’s course of activity?
Does it, without ration
Fuel deep compassion
Does mercy instill in us its sacred call?
Does it keep us holy
And honest and lowly
Tell me, is love our motive, above all
