Healing Unseen Wounds
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
(Psalm 34:18)

God of Life, you know the innermost depths of our hearts and the silent wounds that no one else can see. As we begin this school week, we place into your hands anyone in our College community struggling with anxiety, stress, or depression. Remind them that you know them, name them, and love them deeply. Grant us the grace to look out for one another and to be a source of gentle comfort. St Dymphna, patroness of mental health, pray for us. Amen.
