Almighty and most
merciful God,
we remember before
you all poor and neglected persons
whom it would be
easy for us to forget:
the homeless and the
destitute, the old and the sick,
and all who have none to care for them.
and all who have none to care for them.
Help us to heal
those who are broken in body or spirit,
and to turn their
sorrow into joy.
Grant this, Father,
for the love of your Son,
who for our sake
became poor,
Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
