Term 3              Week 6 A

Let us pray.
Lord,
Today we give thanks for the bonds of family and friendship that can remain strong even when distance separates us.
There are people we love who live in different countries and different parts of the world. We may miss birthdays, celebrations, ordinary conversations and the simple moments of being together.
Help us to remember that love is not measured by how often we see someone. May our relationships remain strong through a message, a phone call, a photograph, a memory or simply knowing that we are thinking of one another.
Give us the wisdom to make the most of the time we have with those around us, and the courage to reach out to those who are far away.
May we never be too busy to tell the people we love how much they mean to us.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
