Prayers at the Midnight Mass

My prayer list is quite long these days. I know so many people who have suffered in the past few months.

 Some lost a parent. Some lost their spouse. Some are dealing with illnesses or serious injuries. Some have relationships that are under strain or have already dissolved. Some struggle with other challenges like addiction, depression, or financial stress.

 I prayed for all of them. I prayed all through Communion and kept on praying. I was still praying when everyone had returned to their seats. The choir performed Christmas carols. I was still praying; I needed more time. 

 I'll have to get back to the church as soon as I can. I have more friends and relatives to remember and more praying to do.
