The Good Samaritan by Jacob Jordaens, circa 1616. Click to enlarge. |
The Parable of the Good Samaritan has been on my mind lately. I offer it here as a text for today, and this Compline prayer with special intention for the people of Ukraine:
Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love's sake. Amen.

So sorry, I don't have much time to read your posts...much going on in our personal lives here. Life goes on no matter where.
Understand, no problem. Yes, life goes on - we've had stuff happening here too. And I can't keep focused on Ukraine every day, it's too intense, heartbreaking. Mainly I'm just writing for the record, and to feel like I'm doing something to help. Wish I could do more.
