Holy Spirit, joy of our hearts, when we do not know how to pray, you pray in us. You console us and you open our eyes to see everything that God gives us. Thankfulness rises up deep inside, and praise comes back to our lips.

Christ Jesus, you send us out to proclaim the good news of your love by our lives, to announce your peace and your compassion to the people you entrust to us. When we meet refusals and discouragement lies in wait for us, help us to turn towards God to tell him everything that is in our hearts. And then we understand: You have already gone ahead of us and you will give us all that we need in order to go forward. May your kingdom come!
