Prayer for those who are persecuted
Lord Jesus, during your life you were surrounded by suffering and you eliminated it sometimes. Look down on those who are persecuted, and alleviate any suffering that is not part of your plan to bring your children to you. Help the sick in body, especially those terminally ill, and the sick at heart who are weary of life. Come to the aid of those victimized by war and persecution . Encourage those who suffer discrimination because of race, creed or color, because of their poverty, ignorance or different lifestyle. Free those who oppressed and feed those who are hungry. Inspire in us a firm desire to cooperate with you in bringing others to your shared love. Let us be open to others, to love them in you and to share with them what I am (a child and lover of God) and have. Amen.
