When?

.When we open the door coming home

Let's thank God that we have a place to call home

and pray for for those who have none or are losing theirs

and vow to help the homeless and ask God to show us how



When we go to a job we know will be hard

Let's thank God that we have a way to earn a living

and pray for those who have no job or are losing theirs

and vow to offer help any way we can even if it's just lending a hand



When we spend time with family and friends

Let's thank God for the true blessings they are

and pray for the lonely or those who feel unloved

and vow to reach out and spend time really listening



When we delight in receiving Jesus at Mass

Let's thank God for the true faith imparted to us

and pray for those who are missing out on this grace

and vow to share that faith and invite someone to Mass


When we awake each morning and welcome the day

Let's thank God for our lives and the time he gives us

and pray for those who will die today and souls in purgatory

and vow to make the most of each day for His purpose



When? When can these needs be fulfilled? When?

When will human suffering end? When?

When we are our brothers keeper and live as true

children of the same Father can we live more in His peace.



I pray I will see the next opportunity WHEN I can thank, pray and serve



Will you ask WHEN with me?
