Compassionate God, in Jesus you heal the broken and bind up all wounds. In trust we pray: Draw near to us, O God.  

For parents, elderly people who live alone, and those who have no one to care for them, we pray: 

Draw near to us, O God.  

For those who suffer depression, despair, or the dark night of the soul, we pray: 

Draw near to us, O God.  

For those who die alone this night, we pray: 

Draw near to us, O God.  

Our Father . . .  

May God strengthen us in our weakness, heal our infirmities, and enrich us with every gift of the Spirit, through Christ our hope. Amen
