Today’s prayer links back to yesterday’s. Whilst the previous one was about sharing the sufferings of Christ, today’s focuses on sharing the sufferings of others.
Father,
Life brings suffering
And pain.
May we bear it, learn from it,
And gain
In empathy and love,
So we can share
The suffering of all,
And show we care.
