Amidst the festive colours of lights, jokes, and loved ones, there is a subtle but important colour that is sometimes missed: the dull pain of loneliness. Christmas is often associated with cosiness, celebration, and warmth. However, for some people, it turns into a poignant reminder of being alone—a moment when the lack of company is felt extremely strongly.
By recognising this difference, we are reaching out with our hands and hearts to those who are experiencing loneliness during this season. We hope to weave threads of consolation, hope, and solace into the lives of the lonely through the straightforward yet profound act of prayer.
