Opening Prayer for the 17th

Dear Lord, help us to see the face of the innocent victims in this world. When power seems so attractive, help us to see who the victims of that power will be. When fortunes seem so attractive, help us to see the victims of that wealth. When comfort seems so attractive, help us to see those who are not comfortable. Help us to be ever aware of all the children of God in this world and give us the strength and wisdom to work toward a united family of God. Amen
