Let us pray,
thinking of those who look back
and wish they had an extra day
or more time:
- those who have too little time
for what they are expected to do;
- those who have lost
a sense of balance and proportion
in their lives;
- those who feel
that they have made a mess
of everything
and would like to be able
to start again.
We pray, too,
for those who might wish for less time:
- those who are worried
about what might happen;
- those who are in despair;
- those who suffer
hours of pain and illness;
- those who are in prison
or being tortured;
- those who wish to die.
On all these people, Lord,
we ask your blessing.
Amen.
