Prayer Offered for December 5, 2016

 
During this Holy time of the year, let us reflect together with God as our
Guiding Light:
 
Longing for peace, our world is bleak.
Longing for light, our nation is dark.
Let us be your flickers of change
To bring good tidings to all.

 

Longing for hope, many despair.
Longing for food, many are hungry.
Let us be your bread, broken for others,
Shared until all are fed.

 

Longing for warmth, many are cold.
Longing for shelter, many are homeless.
Let us be your home, safe, secure, and full of love!

 

Many the gifts, many the people,
Many the hearts that yearn to belong.
Let us be servants to one another.—AMEN.
Sr. Libby Fernandez, RSM, Executive Director of Sacramento Loaves and Fishes
