Lord Jesus, who sends out your disciples to do good in the world, grant us compassionate hearts and capable hands, that we would meet the needs of those whom we encounter wisely and well and thusly show the world your love for all, through you who came to redeem those you love and now intercedes for us with the Father through the Holy Spirit. Amen. ‘Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment.’ – Matthew 10:8
