Daily Prayers by Brother Alois

You, Christ, you say to us: happy are those who are merciful! We recognize you when our heart is filled with kindness. And so you make of us signs of your Gospel.

Christ Jesus, John the Baptist prepared your coming. We too would like to prepare ways for you in the world, and show by our lives this new reality of the Gospel: you come for all, even for those who feel that they are far from God.

You, Christ, you come to place within us your peaceful light. And we understand that to live in fellowship with you is to discover a way forward lit up by your Holy Spirit. On this way, you call us to be always on the move, but never uprooted, with an entirely simple heart, which seeks to understand rather than to be understood. You call us to persevere in the search for visible unity among those who love you. Enable us to remain in the confidence that even in our nights, the Holy Spirit is our guide.
