Join us in our second week of prayer as we pray for the lonely. What has loneliness looked like in your life? Maybe you’ve felt misunderstood and all alone as you reflect on the church tradition you grew up in. Maybe you’ve felt politically lonely. Emotionally misunderstood. Spiritually isolated. Professionally adrift. Loneliness takes many forms, but at its core, it’s one of the most universal human experiences. (Ironic, isn’t it, that we so easily believe no one else could possibly understand?)

Sacred Ordinary Days producer and liturgist Kayla Craig reads a small meditation, some scripture, a prayer from a Celtic prayer book, and a new prayer she has written for our community of kindreds.
