This is from my Prayer Journal in 1985. I think you will like it.
Some good advice and comfort from the Psalmist.
Blessings, love, and hugs. Fr. Jack.
Oh, God…
Oh, God, when I have food help me to remember the hungry,
When I have work help me to remember the jobless,
When I have a warm home help me to remember the homeless,
When I am without pain help me to remember those who suffer
And remembering, help me to destroy my complacency and bestir my compassion.
Make me concerned enough to help by word and deed, those who cry out
For what we take for granted.
Amen.*
Yahweh (God ) is near to the broken hearted,
He helps those whose spirits are crushed.
(Psalm 34)
* The word Amen means "so be it; may it become true."
