Let us pray: Father in Heaven, please be with all those undergoing harships this day. Hardships in their personal health, family relationships, at work, unemployment and many other difficulties in life. We call on you because we know you are present with us each day and that you can comfort us with that presence, no matter the difficulties we are experiencing. We especially call on you Lord to minister to our Bishop John, please provide him with healing and strength. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen
