God of love,
You bring love and healing to the world.
You transform sorrow and suffering into wholeness and new life.
You call me to follow you.
Guide me to make connections that help me love and care for others.
Empower me to look for people and communities that live compassion and bring hope.
Help me to include and connect with those who are living your love in the world.
Amen.
