Today, we pray for widows, orphans and single parent families

Lord Jesus, today we pray for the most ignored in our society – the widows, widowers, orphans and single parents. We pray that You will be the absent spouse, mother and father for them all. May Your love surround them when they are at their lowest. May Your Holy Spirit give them inner strength, courage and joy, during this lonely season, as the world marks Your birth with family festivities. May angels be at their service whenever they need them. Bless anyone who have blessed them. Forgive the ones who reject them and cause them pain and suffering. Amen
