Daily Prayers by Brother Alois

God of love, we would like to turn towards you with all our being. And if we find ourselves asking: "How is this possible?" John the Baptist helps us understand that it is by welcoming your forgiveness that the twisting passages of our lives are made straight.

God of peace, your will is that your love may be known to all human beings. Your forgiveness and your presence become a song in our hearts, and even by night we can think of you and remember your name.

Christ Jesus, you know the suffering of the poor, the oppressed and those in prison, and you suffer with them. Show us ways of solidarity, you who say to us: “Whatever you have done to one of the least important people, you have done to me.”
