Read: Luke 16:19-31
In this parable we hear about two men, one who was very rich and had everything he wanted, the other was very poor, homeless, and lived outside the rich mans gates. The rich man had feasted every day and wore fancy purple garments. The poor man called Lazarus had to beg, but the rich man refused to give him anything. Both men died, Lazarus went to heaven, the rich man went to hell. When he was in hell, he saw Lazarus and asked for some water, and if Lazarus could go and tell his brothers that hell was real and to change their ways. The rich man was told no – his brothers have all the teachers they need on earth and need to trust and believe in what they say. We need to do the same by following the teachings of Jesus.

Father in heaven watch over our loved ones.
Keep them by your side.
May they be safe and peaceful, in you may they abide.
Give wisdom to the doctors and nurses too we pray,
renew their strength and bless them for the work they do each day. Send healing and restoration and let them feel your love.
