Reflection

“Prayer is an end to isolation.” –Georges Lefevre

Prayer

Ever-present God,

There are times in our lives when we feel all alone, when we experience the soul-ache of solitude. And yet you have assured us that nothing can divide us from the heartbeat of your love. You have promised never to forsake us or leave us abandoned. In prayer, especially, we discover the truth that your heart is always inclined towards our own. Your ears are constantly turned our direction and your eyes are ever upon us. More and more may we become a people of prayer, who bring an end to isolation by sharing the gift of presence. With you and each other, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Practice being truly present to others today, especially those who are vulnerable, hurting, or lonely.
