“No vision of Christian love
that fails to bring the neighbor
toward the Divine
is finally adequate.”*
How have you brought your “neighbor”
toward the Divine?
With this charge our Christian life
is so worth living.
Glorious God,
you care for us in ways
beyond imagining.
Thank you
that I can mediate you
to others.
Help me give holistic help
to another in need of
physical or emotional
or social or spiritual care.
Amen.
