Prayer of the Week 12 February 2023

Redeeming Christ, during your time on earth,
you were sought by people from all corners of the earth.
You listened to their cry for help, treated them with dignity, love and compassion,
and brought them healing and wholeness when they asked of you.
Grant us the wisdom as your church in our own time
to provide to all those who we encounter in society the help that they need
and the care that they require.
Guide us to respond to the invitation of the Holy Spirit to dream of a world made new,
where the poor are not forgotten
but given the opportunity to live and flourish with good health and equal prospects.

Amen
