Lord, may I feel the peace you show me.
Do not close my “doors” to fear,
May I cling to the Spirit you give me, to live intensely the commitment to feel sent …
My Lord and my God, forgive my weaknesses, my doubts, my fears …
Because even being sometimes like Thomas, I want to look for you, to be with you …
For though I shut myself up in my silence or in my noises, in my comforts or in my occupations …
You know how to enter my life, how to make it different, how to breathe air in my voids and oxygenate my hardened soul.
May the renewed Spirit of the resurrection, born of victory over death and nourished by love more generous, impel my faith, my permanence in you, and encourage the modest spirit of who wants to love you, to follow you and to respond to you, Father …
Your Love is my peace, my peace is your forgiveness, and your forgiveness is my way of witnessing under the protection of your Strength.
AMEN
