“I love you, LORD, my strength, LORD, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, My God, my rock of refuge, my shield, my saving horn, my stronghold!” –Psalms 18:2-3

Prayer

God our refuge,

Today we remember your servant, St. Laurence O’Toole, who among other things was a champion of justice and protection for the poor and marginalized. Let his legacy of ministry inspire our own, as we commit together to be good help and provide health and well-being to communities in need. Bless our eyes to focus our attention especially on those who are vulnerable, that we might listen carefully to their needs and respond in ways that bring healing and hope. Amen.
