May your presence be felt, Healing God, by those who are recovering. The journey back to health can be truly frustrating and lonely. Help us to be present to the people who are dealing with heavy burdens and patient with those we encounter. We often do not know when others are suffereing. May those who are find comfort from us even if it is only by the smile and greetings we give them. Let people who are struggling find in us comfort, empathy and compassion. May we be instruments of your love and grace. All this we ask in your most Holy Name. Amen
