Lord, we think we know our life and here we are without strength, swept away by the raging waves…
For your silent Presence that soothes and revitalises, we thank you.
Lord, we think we know our life, but we close the door with our reasoning…
For your calls that invite us to make room for others, we thank you.
Lord, we think we know our life but so often we miss out on true joy,
the joy of serving those who are sick, those who have no strength…
For your mercy in putting us back on the path of life, we thank you.
Lord, we think we know our life but so quickly we come up against our limits,
we who do not know how to go to the extremes of love…
For your trust that hopes for us and gives us new strength, we thank you.
