Dear Lord,
our world trembles before an uncertain future. With a whole people moving forward with difficulty,
our faith raises questions, sometimes destabilises, and sets hearts on fire.
In our midst, it inspires witnesses to a living faith and encourages us to persevere in Hope.
When we feel out of breath, when we can no longer see the signs and the fire flickers within us and around us, may your look of tenderness, Father, make us lift our eyes to the promised Peace.
When we feel poor, empty, with nothing to share, awaken in us the memory of the gift received and renewed every day.
When we become aware that we are full of ourselves and that our selfishness is overflowing,
come and rekindle in us that flame of happiness that comes from elsewhere and that nothing and no one can take away from us.
