Lord Jesus,


When I am hungry, give me
someone who needs food

When I am cold, send me
someone to warm

When my cross becomes heavy,
give me another’s cross to share

When I think I can make no
difference in the lives of others,
show me the limitless possibility
of Christ’s compassionate
journey within me.
