Collect
Dear Lord, Our Mentor,
We thank you for always being there for us,
Even when we don’t deserve it.
Help us to look after those who are sick or disabled as you look after us.
Teach us not to look down on others,
but instead treat everyone as our equal.
Help us to stay strong in faith and be more like you Lord.
Through your name we pray.
Amen.
