We invite you to give yourself the gift of 10 minutes each day to ground yourself in prayer. Each week, we will highlight an excerpt of a written prayer along with an audio version of the prayer that includes a story from our global community that helps us remember the everyday reality of those we serve.

Come Lord Jesus, occupy our shame without judgement. We are desperate for your healing touch. May our wounds and the wounds of this world become wombs of new creation, bearing seeds of new life. Free us, O Lord, to be midwives to the holy in all things.

Where there is blindness, call forth the gift of sight. Where there is voicelessness, call forth the gift of voice. Where there is despair, call forth the gift of joy. Where there is isolation, call forth the gift of community. Where there is fear and violence of any kind, call forth the gift of peace born of your love, and make us a community of the Incarnation who create cities of peace for all people.

We pray this in the name of the Father who is for us, the Son who is with us, and the Spirit who unites us all in the never-ending dance of Love.

Amen.
