Prayer of Compassion

One of our local Episcopal churches held a "Blue Christmas" service yesterday. It was intended to bring "healing and hope" to those who were meeting a variety of difficulties at this point in their lives.

The idea prompted a short prayer:

Com-passion -- "with passion" --
May our prayers tonight for those who seem to suffer
Be aflame with Thy Glorious Light.
May those who cry out with grief, with pain, with sadness
Hear the Music of Thy Being
And find themselves at peace in the Arms of Love.
