Calling to mind the Holy Father’s reflections on compassion, through the lens of the Good Samaritan parable, this week we pray for all areas of the world which are bruised and broken, and in need of our compassion. May we have the strength and courage never to accept a status quo which harms any member of our global family, but that we work tirelessly for peace and prosperity.

‘A Samaritan approaches, because if you want to help someone, you cannot think of keeping your distance, you have to get involved, get dirty, perhaps be contaminated; he binds the wounds after cleaning them with oil and wine; he loads him onto his horse, taking on the burden, because one who truly helps if one is willing to feel the weight of the other’s pain.’ – Pope Leo XIV

Thank you for joining us each week for our Mission Rosary – Missio’s beautiful way to pray for the world.
