������������������������� 1 God of wholeness, of space, time and light, Your presence peers in all and overall events and experiences of life. I come to pray, For the most vulnerable among us ‐‐‐ the broken in mind, body and spirit. For them You have come to be most near. They are among your chosen ones, To manifest your healing and saving powers ‐‐ of mercy, patience, and faithful endurance. 2 2 As on the Cross, Through this, our humanity You took on, In love, for love. Touch and make holy, their sufferings, Breathe in them your Spirit. Immerse and wash through old cells, Your precious blood and water. Hide and make as your own, their wounds. Hear them when they cry out, "Jesus, remember me." 3 3 1
They bend, like bruised reeds, but not broken. Like the good thief Dismas, not spurned. For in all... who is like You, O God of compassion? "Your will be done". A new morning is birthed. ‐ Amen.
