“Woundedness”
While we cannot always know—nor should we always know—what wounds the people around us bear, we can be as sure that their wounds exist as we are that ours do.
Help us, therefore, O God, to reach out to those around us with the same understanding, love, grace, and mercy that we would like to receive from others and with the understanding, love, grace, and mercy that we have received from you.
Grant that our scars would not become hard and calloused but rather cause them to stay open enough to become conduits of compassion.
Amen.
