Pray for each other’s needs then conclude with this prayer:

Sorrow to Spring

God you are good to us in grief

and growth,

We turn to you, ever hopeful.

We look to our mother Mary who knew the sorrow of a broken heart.

We look to our mother Mary who knew the joy of growth, love and life.

Help us, like Mary, to say “yes”

to life in all its seasons.

Call us to stand with others in sorrow.

Inspire us with spring growth.

God you are good to us in grief

and growth.

Amen
