Prayer

O God, enlarge our hearts that they may be big enough to receive the greatness of your love. Stretch our hearts that they may take into them all those around the world who, with us, believe in Jesus Christ. Stretch our hearts that they may take into them all those who are not lovely in our eyes, and whose hands we do not want to touch; through Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Amen.

In these exceptional times, we turn to the One who prays: “Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.” Let your face shine upon your whole creation, O God. Incline your ear to your family. Protect all who are suffering in this time of pandemic, especially in Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, and the many countries experiencing new surges of COVID-19. Compassionate God, Hear our cry.
