Coming together as a team, let's take a moment to pause (10 secs), and let's begin with a quote from...
John 13: 34-35- "I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
And from...
Thomas Merton- "The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them."

Dear God, each of us is a unique creation and you love us just as we are with a personal and tender love. As I care for others, give them the assurance of this unconditional love. Help me to appreciate the differences in others. Amen.
