Words of Comfort
for all those who suffer

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,  who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.  For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. (2 Corinthians 1:3-5)

Our prayer for you (May the God of hope....)

MICHEL'S DAVID, 
HIS LIVING STONES

Here's another one about not being distracted by the ugliness of the world, by same author:

PRICELESS
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this 20 bill?"  Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.  "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?"  And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the  decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in God's eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him.

Along the Road
I walked a mile with Pleasure.
She chattered all the way,
But left me none the wiser
for all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne'er a word said she;
But, oh, the things I learned from her
When Sorrow walked with me.
- Robert Browning Hamilton
 
Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi 


Lord,
Make me an instrument 
of Your peace:
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith; 
Where there is despair, hope; 
Where there is darkness, light; 
Where there is sadness, joy. 
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much 
seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand; 
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive. 
It is in pardoning that 
we are pardoned. 
It is in dying that we 
are born to eternal life.
