"Pray for us sinners...."

Matthew and I were praying a rosary together last night and I really focused in on the request "pray for us sinners". This line is always more powerful for me when I'm praying it in a group (pray for "us" this family, school, nation...etc) but since Matthew and I were praying together I was asking particularly for our relationship.
"Pray for us sinners so that we may love each other with a deep, Christ like love. Help us sinners see each other as Christ does and so love. Help us love each other more worthily. Mother, in your love for us sinners, please pray for us."
We may say that we love the other but it's impossible to love him as much as Christ does. Only He can teach us how to love as we ought.
