In our journey through the desert, we have come to a halt. Lord Jesus Christ, we need you to rest and quench our thirst.
For all around us, and even more so in the distance, the earth is dry from not having enough rain, the earth is burnt by huge fires, devastated by bombs or earthquakes – and how many hearts throughout the world are dried up by the desolation of daily life or the anguish of tomorrow…
In you we recognise the One who illuminates the dry places in us so that we can work on them, and who, by his own journey and the gift of his life, offers us living, purifying and thirst-quenching water, ready to flow over the barren lands to irrigate the future.
For this oasis of hope at the edge of your well, Lord Jesus, we bless you.
Lord, teach us to make integral ecology our own.
Draw us out of the torpor of a light and insidious irresponsibility towards the state of the world.
May this lucidity, far from making us give up, give us the necessary impetus to change the world step by step, with your help!
The wind is blowing hard.
The storm refreshes us, and scares us a little, too.
Lord, what if it was our sister and mother earth that was crying out in revolt?
So much plunder, pollution and abuse committed against her!
And, why not, what if it was your anger, Good God, who no longer knows how to make us hear your call, your warning:
“My beloved children, you are on the wrong path.
Change your ways of producing and consuming, of housing and feeding yourselves, of working and travelling!
Yet, Lord, do not cease to speak to us, to call us and to hope in us.
