Prayer

Lord our God, I need your light …

When you can use my faith, my hope,

My example, in spite of my sufferings or my failures,

Please help me! Let me be a guide to my sisters and brothers;

I know you are there to rescue us from the wrong path.

 

When I am lost in my own comfort, help me

To see the hunger, the injustice or the misery facing

my neighbours.

 

When I am lost and searching for you, you know me;

Relieve me and call me back to your life.

 

When I am in my final sufferings that overcome me

Give me the strength to trust in you steadfastly

and secure me in the freedom you won for us in Eternal life.

Thank you for being there!

Amen.
