who gathers all creation within your mercy,
and sustains all that is by your grace,
we rest within your light,
grateful for this day and its possibilities.
Grant us the wisdom and empathy
to seek to fashion our path in the imitation of Christ,
our model, our teacher,
our Savior, our guide.
Lord Jesus, mold and shape our hearts
and anoint us to your service,
to care for each other as a testimony
to your compassionate reign over us.
Lord, we bow before your throne of love,
and ask your protection over the healers and the caregivers
who serve the vulnerable and the suffering.
Spirit of Truth, burn bright within us
and purify us of our carelessness and greed,
we humbly pray.
Merciful One,
gather within your loving embrace
all those in need, anxiety, or sorrow,
especially those for whom we pray.
Amen.
