When sickness is on you,
and health takes a blow
when joys all desert you
and energy is low.
Remember, God loves you.
When pain comes at night,
and sleep disappears,
when nothing feels right
and you’re riddled with fears.
Remember, God loves you.
When people are curt,
or ignore what you say,
when others’ words hurt,
and friends keep away.
Remember, God loves you.
When life feels all empty,
and weighed down with care,
when tears come in plenty
with no one to share.
Remember, God loves you.
When burdened by guilt
and plagued by the past,
when faith starts to wilt
or doubts loom too vast.
Remember, God loves you.
Amen.
By Columban Fr. Patrick Sayles
