Prayer for Compassion

Dear God,

As you draw me ever deeper into your heart,
I discover that my companions on the journey are men and women
loved by you as fully and intimately as I am.

In your compassionate heart,
there is a place for all of them.
No one is excluded.

Give me a share in your compassion, dear God,
so that your unlimited love may become visible
in the way I love my brothers and sisters.

Amen
... from With Open Hands by Henri Nouwen
