n the midst of this world thrown out of balance by so many forces that divide, we wish to bear witness to you,
Lord our God. You who have given us life, who sustain us at every moment
and entrust us to be, for others, your heart, your hands, your living water… May your grace bridge the gap
between your expectations and our feeble responses, and grant us the grace to commit ourselves with joy and determination to
your work of creation and renewal through Jesus Christ.
