Dear Friends, THIS PRAYER IS FROM A FRIEND WHO WORKED
DURING HIS STAY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.

Thank you dear friends!
All My Love,
loveones - Sandy


Each morning this prayer is read at the hospital where I worked during my stay in Southern Africa -
Perhaps you can say it with me for the 40 million people in our world suffering with HIV/AIDS, with
love, Maithri

God of all compassion,
comfort Your sons and daughters
who live with AIDS,
Spread over us all Your quilt of mercy,
love and peace.

Open our eyes to Your presence
reflected in their faces.
Open our ears to Your truth
echoing in their hearts.

Give us the strength
to weep with the grieving,
to walk with the lonely,
to stand with the depressed.

May our love mirror Your love
for those who live in fear,
who live under stress and
who suffer rejection.

Mothering, Fathering God,
grant rest to those who have died
and hope to all who live with HIV.

God of life, help us to find the cure now
and help us to build a world in which
no one dies alone and where
everyone lives accepted,
wanted and loved

Amen.
