Reflection 

My own difficulties to lead me to be sensitive to others

Lord our God, you have made me in your own likeness

 and you love all that you have made. 

I thank you for all that has been positive in my life. 

I ask that I may live in such a way that 

I may learn from whatever 

I may find is negative or hurtful in my life.

 May my disabilities and weaknesses teach me 

how to be sensitive to individuals, 

that I may grow more caring and compassionate 

for others who experience difficulties. 

May I grow in strength of character through all that happens to me, 

living fully each day. 

Amen.
