Lord Jesus, with you we have entered into the growth of your Kingdom.
Through your Spirit, sustain in us the dynamism of faith that seeks to be fulfilled.
To those who suffer, open the space for your word of truth that sets us free and
leads us towards others.
To those who suffer in their bodies, open the space of compassion, a presence that soothes and
lifts them up.
To those who suffer from situations of oppression and injustice, open the space of the powerful Word
that weaves bonds of solidarity.
To all those defeated by history, past and present, open up the space of your victory over death, which
carries us to the shore of invincible hope.
