Compassionate God,
We pray for people who are
retired.
Through work, or voluntary work
Or social existence,
Let
them know they are still part of us,
They still contribute, they are still
needed.
Help people who are newly retired to cope
With the stress of a
big change in their lives.
And help us all to find our own Sabbath:
As
you rested on the seventh day,
Let us all learn to rest.
