That this mask
of the passer-by,
the caiman
crossing the river
from one bank to the other,
accompanies
your passage
towards interiority
and Encounter,
and that the basin,
evoking
of baptismal waters,
extends the intuition
of this work of art
Sudano-Sahelian work of art.

Prayer

  • 29 March 2024

    Is that not our faith?
    Acclaiming Jesus Christ, our Master and Lord, one day,
    crucifying him next day, refusing to follow him on the path of total trust in the Father,
    discovering tomorrow his presence by our side in spite of everything.
    Is this not our love?
    Acclaiming one day the one who gave his life to save ours?
    crucifying him next day when selfishness, jealousy and selfishness take over our hearts,
    discovering tomorrow, in spite of everything, the presence of the Risen One
    who has overcome evil and death.
    For faith and love renewed by the sap of spring,
    by the mystery of Christ’s Passover,
    we give you thanks, God of our life.

    Lord our God,
    something is stirring in your Church,
    as if Moses’ bush were secretly on fire again,
    calling us to new exoduses after so many deserts.
    Help us to understand that we are not walking alone,
    that others elsewhere are reaching out to us
    to pave the way for peace, for the salvation of the world, for compassion.
    Give us the strength to move forward together, in deep water
    and recognise your footsteps, you, the God of our faith,
    Father of Jesus Christ.

    Christ our brother,
    you lead us to this slow interior transfiguration to conform us to you, little by little.
    Give us the gift of being your healing hands,
    your Word that comforts,
    your action that lifts us up
    so that none of the least of these may be crushed, and so that your praise may rise to the Father with ours
    through your Spirit of Love.

    Dear Lord,
    may the memory of what you lived among us, in patience and trust
    inspire us even today. May we, freed from our slavery
    may we move forward together towards the land of brotherhood.
    We pray this through Jesus, the mediator of your covenant of peace for all.

    Lord, we have built a world of noise and agitation,
    you wait for us in silence and peace. Bring us back.
    Lord, we have built a world of privilege and misery,
    You await us in communion. Bring us back, Lord.
    Lord, we have built a world where so many peoples are oppressed,
    you await us in respect and justice. Bring us back, Lord.
    Lord, we have built a world on the law of the strongest and on exclusion,
    you are waiting for us in the gratuitousness of love. Bring us back, Lord.
    Lord, we have built a world of violence and contempt,
    you are waiting for us in welcome and wonder. Bring us back, Lord.
