Papa God, you are the author and finisher of my life. Thank you for today and for the many Good Samaritans who have helped me to navigate the Jericho roads of my life. Thanks to those who helped bandage my wounded pride, those who used their own resources to ensure that I could see another day, those who opened their homes and hearts to me when I needed it the most. Help me O God, to never turn my back on those in need, to never cross to the other side while there are persons crying out for help. May today’s journey be made lighter by the many Samaritans who cross our paths O God, and may we who have benefited from their generosity,never hesitate to return it to those in need.
