DAILY INTERCESSION
The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works. The Lord upholdeth dll that fall, and raiseth up them that be bowed down (Psalm cxlv, 9, 14). O Lord of love, Who art not far from any of Thy children, we pray Thee to * have in Thy holy keeping those dear ones from whom we*are now separated, and who are facing the perils of war. And grant that both they and we, by drawing nearer to Thee, may be drawing nearer to each other. For the many scattered far and wide wherever the defence of our Empire calls, unknown to us, but risking all for us, who go in jeopardy of their lives on sea and land and in the air, Lord in mercy hear us. Defend them in peril ; may their sense of duty inspire their labour, and their reward be the victory of our cause. May hatred, cruelty, oppression —all that leads to misery—pass away, and men _ live in brotherly love, because, rejoicing in Thy Fatherly love.. Amen.
