Jesus, our Lord,
grant us a share in the faith you found in the humble among your people, that faith which saves.
What do we know of your welcome as long as we do not lay our burdens at your feet, as long as we do not
entrust our weaknesses to you, who came to bear them?
Teach us to free ourselves from the powerful grip of all that is non-essential, which so often invades
our daily lives or clouds our judgement. Lead us towards inner contemplation, where the
true believer may be born, in the authenticity of their being.
