Pain of the World

Forgive us if this day we have done or said anything to increase the pain of the world.

Pardon 

• the judgmental attitude, 
• the unkind word, 
• the impatient gesture, 
• the hard and selfish deed, 
• the failure to show sympathy and kindly help  

where we had the opportunity, but missed it.

Amen.

(Frederick B. Meyer, in Flowers Along the Path, by Esther Carls Dodgen, p. 330)
