Reading

Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the Lord delivers them in times of trouble. The Lord protects and preserves them. They are counted among the blessed in the land. He does not give them over to the desire of their foes. The Lord sustains them in sickness and leads them to healing.

—Psalm 41 (OT)

Quiet

As your day draws to a close, spend a few moments in silence and stillness.

Affirmation

My God, you are The Good Shepherd

and the people of this world are your sheep.

Living among them, I will not overlook the weak.

My God, you are The Good Shepherd

and the people of this world are your sheep.

Living among them, I will be touched by their afflictions.

My God, you are The Good Shepherd

and the people of this world are your sheep.

Living among them, make me a conduit of your grace.

Amen. (CIB)
