An Open Heart like Martha, Mary, and Lazarus

Lord Jesus, I praise you for this afternoon you give me and for the life you renew within me.

I thank you for true friends and for the family that comforts and supports me.

Inspire my actions to be welcoming like Martha, trusting like Mary, persevering like Lazarus.

Grant comfort to those who feel alone and renew the hope of those who are weary today.

I entrust to you all who work, who suffer, who seek a smile in everyday life.

Guide us through difficulties and make us a sign of living fraternity.

Protect those who read and their loved ones with Your love that embraces everyone.

Amen. 🌿
