Prayer
For Those Who Help
May the One who blessed and led our forbearers give countenance
unto those who provided help for the ill and troubled among us.
May they be filled with fortitude and courage, endowed with sympathy
and compassion, as they give strength to those at their side. May
they fight against despair and continue to find within themselves
the will to reach out to those in need. And in their love of others,
may they feel the blessing of community and faith through each hour
of the day.
Prayer invites God to suffuse our spirits, to let the will of the
Eternal prevail in our lives. Prayer cannot bring water to parched
fields, nor mend a broken bridge, nor rebuild a ruined city; but
prayer can water an arid soul, mend a broken heart, and rebuild
a weakened will.
