Listen to these words from the book of the prophet Isaiah about God’s compassion for us.

Beloved,
Do not fear, for I have saved you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire
you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.
For I am your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour.   Isaiah 40

The Word of the Lord [Response: Thanks be to God]

Let us always walk with compassion
Let us always remember that God is with us on our journeys
Let us always be compassionate with one another.OCGE 1g

We close our prayer with the Hail Mary
Hail Mary, Full of grace,
the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women and Blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death. Amen.
In the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
