A Lenten Journey : Setting out

Why, O Lord, are so many afflicted?
We cry out to you but We do not understand.

Darkness surrounds me
But you give me the strength not to be oppressed.

Hold me in your hand
That I may see and comprehend, That this not your will  O Lord.

Illumen my path,
help me to navigate the way to your brightness

Strengthen me so that I may be strong for others,
Heal me that others may be healed.

Lord, touch the sick with your healing hands
Bless the anxious with your peace.

Show me the way that I should go.
Show me the path that I may walk in your truth.

Lord you are the source of Light and Life
I praise you for your beacon, Love

Which shines like the sun that warms the earth
And accentuates its beauty;Bringing flowers and creatures to life.

I praise you Lord that you are the author of life and truth.
Write your story in my footprints ,
That my life may become a beautiful clause in the Book of Life.

Amen.
