Listen to your
people who cry out to you.
Ignite the spark of
new energy within us.
Help us to support
one another,
with special care
for our children, our poor, our elderly.
Protect our medical
personnel, our emergency
workers, our
extended communities and
your people around our planet-home.
Give wisdom to our
leaders.
Come to our aid. Comfort
the dying.
Embrace the grieving.
Transform our
hearts,
that our lives may gift others and give you
praise. Amen. Sr. Sharon Portwood, OSB
