Holy Spirit, as you came down on Jesus, come down into us to remind us of the words that Jesus has spoken. Lead us on the way that announces the good news of his love, which helps us to see clearly, which sets free and which always brings us closer to those who are poor and destitute.

Christ Jesus, you invite us to follow you with all that we are. By your love, you transform our being, and you work on us. And the day comes when we can say to you: Become my joy; may I live for you.

Faithful God, in a world where we often have the impression that everything is changing, and the things which help us find our direction can seem to be fading away, you offer us this certainty: your love will never depart from us. Open our hearts to welcome this good news.
