COMFORTER OF THE AFFLICTED
O Comforter of the Afflicted,
hide me in the shelter
of your wings.
See me with the tender sight
of your many-eyed vision.
Caress my wounds
with your soft healing touch.
Open me to the paradox
that the crucible of sorrow
may bear unseen gifts.
As your merciful care
embraces and assists me,
may I be a sacrament of presence
to all whose sufferings
touch my heart.
