You alone, Lord, are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow,
which is why we pray to you with confidence:
When rainy days darken our spirits, when the light dims and
the cold seizes our hearts,
Lord, we call upon you!
When fog obscures our lives, when clouds gather
and the horizon disappears,
Lord, we call upon you!
When fear invades our homes, when the sounds of weapons accumulate
and war breaks out upon war,
Lord, we call upon you!
When our lukewarmness leaves us sitting on our sofas
and indifference blinds us,
Lord, we call upon you!
