Merciful Father, You call us to bring Your love
to those who suffer and to those who feel forgotten.
Through the examples of Saint Faustina
and Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos,
deepen our compassion for every person we encounter.
Give us generous hearts that notice suffering
and hands willing to help.
Keep us from passing by those who need encouragement,
friendship, forgiveness, or practical assistance.
May our lives become gentle instruments of Your mercy
in a wounded world.
Amen.
