Turn to me and be gracious to me, For I am lonely and afflicted. (Psalm 25:16)

Let us pray: Most gracious Father, we owe everything to you. We have joy and comfort in our homes because we can take refuge from you whenever we are hurt and sorrowful. Thank you for providing us safety and security  in our community and love and understanding in our families. Teach us to be selfless Lord so that we may return the love that you have given us to those who are suffering and afflicted.. Amen
