Healing Touch
May we console those who are
exhausted,
inhibited or uncertain.
Help us to increase our
capacity
to listen and respond to one
another.
May we speak words of
encouragement,
recognition and
affirmation.
Give us the grace to meet the lonely,
neglected,
ill, and misunderstood with
patience,
understanding and
acceptance.
May we be sources of
strength,
hope and inspiration for one
another.
Give us the strength to express our
concern and grief.
May we embrace every chance to help, to
heal-
touching not only individual
persons
but also a wounded
world.
