Waiting

                                        

We give praise to Christ our Lord, the radiant light of the world. He guides our steps in a path of light and we no longer live in darkness. Let us turn to him in confident prayer:

– May your word light up our way.

 

Christ, our Saviour, may we grow today in your likeness,

  may we gain through the second Adam what was lost by the first.

– May your word light up our way.

 

May your word take flesh in our lives and your truth shine forth in our actions;

  may your love burn brightly within us.

– May your word light up our way.

 

Teach us to work for the good of all, whether the time is right or not;

  make your Church a welcome light for the whole human family.

– May your word light up our way.

 

May we always treasure your friendship and come to know its depth;

  may we atone for the sins against your wisdom and love.

– May your word light up our way.

 

Universalis Liturgical Prayer

                                                                          I will wait for you
                                                 in the fury of my soul
                                                 and the darkness 
                                                 of my brokenness
                                                 to come, Oh Lord,
                                                 to heal what is not light
                                                 or a part of you.
                                                 I will wait...
