Solace for the lonely souls
It's that time of the year when families get together and celebrate the joy of being one under one roof.
However, there are many, many millions more who are alone, desperately lonely. Nobody to turn to, nothing to look forward to, and practically no hope in sight. These are the loneliest people in the world.
They have no songs in their hearts and their souls seem so far away. A prayer goes out to these lost souls. They too are people who once had a home. They too had parents.
Life has not been joyful for them for many long years. They wander from street to street, city to city, alley to alley, merely existing. Our prayers go to these people. Believe it or not, they are part of this world, and consequently part of us.
We are one family and if we can feel for others, we will in the end feel much joy in our hearts.
We pray that these folks who have somehow lost their way along the journey of life will find happiness in the most unexpected places. This Christmas the lonely, faceless masses are in our prayers.
