Dear God,

It is easy to fly off, to get enraged by injustice caused by power-hungry, greedy political leaders.  It is so easy to lose our way in anger.  And we must do our part to stem the tide of meanness, resist policies that intend to harm and help support those who are facing devastating losses.  Yet, you call us not to lose our way but to find it.

O God, your love is the only love that is steadfast and sure.  You make it available 24/7.  You give us wisdom, ideas and a way to make a difference however small it may be.  At the same time, you ask us to keep ourselves rooted and grounded in you, your way and your will.  That is so difficult at times because we want the hurt to stop now.  Your words call us back every time..."Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them."  Your way is always better.

Help us

help others,

Holy Father.

Break down

the powers

of evil

and despair.

Make your way clear

so we

may follow

instead of

try to lead.

Yours, Andrea
