Love Divine, extend your gracious hand over us in our praises and our petitions, and place us firmly within your embrace, we pray.
Holy Spirit, give us hearts of flesh and spirit in place of our hearts of stone, and let our words and actions find favor in your sight.
We thank You for the gift of friends and companions who walk with us through life. Bless especially the hands of doctors, nurses, and caretakers, that those who suffer pain or illness may be restored to joy. Bless those who suffer in spirit or who have lost their way, Gentle Shepherd, that we hear your call to return and rest in your love. Inspire those who guide your Church, Lord Christ, that it always be a blazing sign of love and truth.
Send your angels to guard those who call upon you, and hear our prayers as we place them at your feet, O Loving One.
Amen.
