Before the dawn of the day, your Spirit is already here, Lord our God:
May it awaken in us the desire to know You and to trust You
May He speak to us of Your longing to meet us, You who seek us like the merchant
who leaves everything to find his precious pearl.
May it help us to hear Your voice in the men and women who cross our path today.
May He communicate to us Your joy of giving and forgiving, without measure and at every moment.
May it make our interdependence a springboard for true solidarity, where each of us feels responsible for the happiness of others,
feels responsible for the happiness of others.
