O God of mercy, we cannot understand. . . .
why all of our needs are povided
while others are still oppressed with need
We could have been born in another land.
We pray for all who lack food and clothing,
who are cold and ill,
who have lost home and country,
who are disheartened and discouraged
who are unemployed or underemployed.
Give us the will and provide the grace to love them all in you
and in loving to help bear their burdens and meet their needs.
In Christ's name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you, Mildred. I often think about this. You have expressed it beautifully and prayerfully.
