Morning Prayer

Lord,
I give you thanks for this new day.
I remember family and friends and all
who are suffering in any way.
Be with us all in your love, care and compassion.
With the Pope this month,
I pray for families in crisis:
that families discover the remedies
for their difficulties through forgiveness,
rediscovering each other’s gifts,
even in their differences.
Be with all who love and care for the sick,
and look kindly on all our intentions and needs.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
