esus Lord, so often we fail to recognise your presence in our lives. We don’t know how to discern the signs of the Spirit, or see that the Kingdom of God has come to us.
Convert us to the newness of time.
When we remain passive, looking up at the sky, when we should be working diligently to incarnate the Gospel; when we are busy with immediacy, when we should be sitting down and listening:
Let’s convert to the newness of time.
When we hoard when we should be making a profit, when we are always looking to gain when we should be losing: let us convert to the newness of time.
When we flee from the gravity of the moment, when we should be staying and watching, when we remain weighed down by the weight of regret, when we should be running ahead of hope:
Let’s convert to the newness of time.
When we dream of travelling the world, when happiness is just around the corner, and all we have to do is serve and share: let’s convert to the newness of time.
