Lord Jesus, thank you for your example of how to live our lives. You included the vulnerable on the margins of society, you had special words for the broken-hearted, you comforted those searching for peace, you gave hope to those in desperate situations. Lord Jesus, give us the strength to follow your example. Help us, Lord, to include others, to say the right words in difficult situations, to give support and pastoral care to those in need, to have loving hearts in all we do. But we are not perfect and when we get it wrong, give us the grace to say sorry.
