PRAYER FOR ALL OF US BY James Keane

Dear Lord,

in this time of suffering

that knows no boundary

or border, please keep

all Your children – everyone –

in Your mercy and care. May

we come to know, every

one of us, and soon,

the hope and joy

of resurrection

in our own fashion, through

all the beautiful shades

of our humanity

and the passion

we all share

for living.
