Finding words

When words fail me
and I don’t know what to make of things,
help me to be really silent,
deep-down-silent
and wait in trust for the answers.
Amen

Do not face us, O living God,
with the future of a world without justice,
or a future without mercy;
in your mercy,
establish justice
and in your justice,
remember your overflowing mercy in Jesus Christ.
Amen

Father,
show us where we can help
with whatever gift each of us has received
and give us the strength and energy
and time to put our faith into action.
Amen
