Gathering - Jason Ridgeway

Let us pray to God:

For the people
who mean a lot to us,
who give us their love
and forgiveness.

For the people
who encourage us
in critical moments
and help us grow as people.

For the people
we hurt,
ignore or belittle,
for whom we don't have a good word.

For the people
we lose sight of,
all those who take different paths
and move away from us, and also for those who were separated from us
by death.

God, bless all these people.
Surround them and us with people
in whom your love becomes tangible.
Make us a blessing to one another.

Amen.
