Behind the numbing numbers are the names of loved ones. Behind the staggering statistics are life stories still to be told. God, help us be with our sisters and brothers – gather us close so we open our spirits and share. Your world is our global neighbourhood. Help us forge the rain-driven path together, for only together can we weather the storms. Amen
