Father, give us strength every day to believe that life is stronger than evil.
May there be a way out and light beyond every dead end, every night.
May love deliver us from death.
May we listen to the source of true happiness,
to the disconcerting and inexhaustible calls of life,
of what rises up from the immense interior spaces within us.
Give us the ability to recognise the new that is happening,
to marvel at it, to help it grow,
with that passion for love that never lets us rest.
Give us the ability to believe in what we are doing together,
by welcoming others in all their differences,
by becoming freer of ourselves every day.
