Please keep the homeless in your prayers during this very cold and snowy period.

A Prayer for the Homeless

Bless the homeless, this day and everyday,
keep them from physical and emotional harm,
fill their hearts with hope for the future and for today,
comfort the homeless as they walk their difficult paths.
May I know that anyone, even me, can be homeless.

Bless the homeless with enough food to sustain them,
with enough warmth to shield them from the elements,
with the power to wrestle personal demons and win,
with the will to go on, and build their lives again.

May hope touch each homeless heart, spirit and life,
let the kindness of others bring lasting benefits,
bring freedom from addiction, illness and misery,
open their humanity to include & embrace themselves.

Bless the homeless with self acceptance and love,
spark their imaginations with belief in the future,
bringing the possibility of a better life,
a safer life and a more secure life.

7. Prayers are mostly meaningless and of little help.

We should activate our efforts and tax dollars to assist those who need help. Now.

[hrmjustin]

8. This is the prayer circle and a safe haven for prayer so saying that it is meaningless and of

little help is not appropriate in this room.

10. As host I inform this room that Warren Stupidity has been banned for his two disruptione.

He knew what he was doing and he was asked by me not to after the first time but he chose to post Flying Spaghetti monster stuff In here. I do not enjoy banning people but he was warned.

Enough is enough.

---> 'cause I know it's hard to do.

[hrmjustin]

12. Thanks Peggy!

I hate doing it but enough is enough.

[okasha]

15. Let's keep up the prayers

for homeless and unsheltered folk and critters. Looks as if there's another bad one headed over the Midwest and points east.

16. A Franciscan blessing

May God bless us with discomfort at easy answers, half truths and superficial relationships so that we may live deep within your heart.

May God bless us with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people so that we may work for justice freedom and peace.

May God bless us with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war so that we may reach out our hand to comfort them and turn their pain into joy.

And may God bless us with enough foolishness to believe that we can make a difference in this world so that we can do what others claim cannot be done.

Amen
