May we be welcoming today, O God. There are times when we need to be patient, help us to do that when we struggle with the action, or inaction of others. May we be forgiving of others as we would like to be forgiven. Let us recognize that we do not know the stresses or burdens that others are carrying and treat those we meet today with the love and respect we hope to have from others. Allow us to gift of an unhurried day. All this we ask in your most Holy Name. Amen
