A PRAYER FOR THIS DAY (available here as a 1:00 video)
Loving God,
we place before you all who are living with arthritis:
we ask for your comfort when times are hard; when the pain is intense; when everyday activities are impossible;
we pray for all who care for those with arthritis;
that their compassion will be a source of strength;
we pray for all who encounter people living with arthritis;
that they will seek to develop their understanding and respond kindly and justly;
we pray for medical professionals - especially those researching treatments and cures;
that they will be relentless in their quest to make life better for others.
We pray this in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN
St. Julie: pray for us, protect us and bless.
