Occasional Prayers

O God of love, whose compassions fail not: We bring before thee the sufferings of all mankind; the necessities of the homeless; the sighing of prisoners; the pains of the sick and injured; the sorrows of the bereaved; the helplessness of the aged and weak. Comfort and relieve them, O Father, according to their several needs, and thy great mercy; for the sake of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ.
