With the men and women in the Church who ensure that we live the Gospel, we turn to You, Lord: sharpen in us the vigilance of the prophets!
With the researchers and artists who are inventing the world of the future, we turn to You,
Lord: share with us the wisdom that builds the universe according to your plan!
With those whose job it is to look after the health and safety of their sisters and brothers,
we turn to you, Lord: give us the awareness
that makes all work a service of love!
With the men and women who no longer keep watch, who no longer plan ahead, out of weariness or discouragement,
we turn to You, Lord: grant us the faith that opens the way to the impossible.
