Loving God,

We recognize that in many ways we are also paralyzed. Whenever we ignore someone in need, we are like the paralytic man in the gospel today. Heal us and restore us to health. Grant us a clear vision to see clearly around us that we have so much to do. Grant us the heart that bleeds whenever we see people deprived of their rights and needs. Grant us the grace to be able to extend our hands to help and save others. We ask this through our Lord Jesus, your Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever.

Amen.

Fr. Edgar Benedi-an, OSM
