poverty
sorrow
weakness
hunger
thirst
We find you in our emptiness.
Lord, help me to seek
mercy
courage
peace
uprightness
We serve you in our risk-taking.
Lord, help me to endure
persecution
lies
evil
We witness you in our struggle.
And through it all we are blessed
as we become more like you.
Amen.
