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.

Lord God,
There are words that bring glad tidings when they spread kindness and forgiveness
human kindness and forgiveness.
There are gestures that herald glad tidings and show its light when they
build the human earth on justice and peace.
There are actions that herald the good news and show its presence when they build the human
on tenderness and justice.
To waiting hearts, to awakened minds, you show your tireless closeness.
We bless you for this, God our Father.
Give us the gift of making ourselves available to your life,
To let ourselves be seduced by your passion for humanity.

Lord, you often tell us in the Scriptures that we must get down to work. That we must not
lament the situation we are experiencing today in the Church and in the world.
There is a challenge of mission. We pray to you, Lord, asking for a greater time to
to renew our hope. Help us to become aware once again that our baptism makes us
a missionary of the Good News and a builder of fraternal communion. As we approach
of the Feast of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, may we experience in a common journey the joy of the Beatitudes and the challenge to love.

Lord,
From the depths of our precariousness, we do not give up, we raise our hands to You!
We will not bow to fate, but we will bow to You,
because you are the master of all possibilities, and you want us to stand on our own two feet.
We stretch out our hands: prayer is our dignity.
It is the breath that keeps us alive. It is part of your movement of life,
it creates in us a current of hope. It cleanses and renews all our judgements.
We stretch out our hands to you, Lord, our hands that break bread every day.
Make them better able to share, quicker to give. Let them reach out and touch one another,
to enlarge this body of humanity that sanctifies your Father’s name, in Jesus Christ and in the Spirit.

God our Father,
love enlightens all things
and Jesus Christ himself is our torch.
You invite us to look at him, to contemplate the face he gives to your word.
The face in which you yourself reveal yourself to us.
The disfigured face of the Crucified One who calls us to follow him
to discover the true face of the humanity we are.
Convert us to listening to his words, which are the wisdom of life,
to faith in his daily presence.
Let the Gospel of Peace shine on our faces, so that we may pass on to the world
the light with which he is eternally clothed.

A day is drawing to a close
full of you, Lord.
a day
full of your Word
May it not be forgotten,
suffocated, swallowed up by the passing of life.
A day
full of fraternal presence.
May we remember the faces
that lit up our own.
A day
full of the sacrament
that gives life and puts us back in communion with you,
with others, day after day…
