Lord, save us! (Matthew 8:25; NLT).
Save us, Lord! We live in thrall
To evil: please forgive us all.

Lend us patience; make us kind.

Give us grace, so we may love.
Heal each fragile, human soul
And grant us wisdom: make us whole.
Give me wisdom (2 Chronicles 1:10; NIV).

The last thing we reflect on, Lord, is:
Blessed are the pure.
