My Lord, you know the pain and the torment of everyheart, have mercy on those who seek you without knowing and long for you without realizing.
Stretch out your hand and invite them to your dinner. Show them how close you are to each of them and how easily they can find you if only they open their hearts.
Fill them with your peace and love. Comfort their troubled souls and heal their hidden wounds. Show them how to love you, so that they can find the strength to love themselves and their neighbours.
Don't let any of them be lost, but go looking for them like the good shepherd and bring them home. Carry them in your arms, comfort them and make them feel your blessings every day.
Bring them from darkness to light, from the cold endlesssearches to the warm certainty of hope-giving faith.
Amen
