Hear our prayer, O God of mercy and love, for all who live with HIV or AIDS. Grant them loving companions who will support them in the midst of fear; give them hope for each day to come, that every day may be lived with courage and faith. Bless them with an abundance of your love, that they may live with concern for others. Pour on them the peace and wholeness, which you alone can give.Through Jesus Christ our Saviour, who came to give us abundant life.
