Daily Prayers by Brother Alois

Christ Jesus, you experienced suffering and death, but you are risen, and you prepare a place in God’s presence for every human being. Help us to welcome your presence each day. There we find a joy that bears us forward.

Christ Jesus, after feeding the crowd, you withdrew to the mountain, alone. And so you reveal to us that in the depths of our desire there is a thirst for what is absolute. There we can meet with God and say to him: "God, you are my God; I seek you before the dawn; my soul thirsts for you." And even if we cannot fully understand, this thirst becomes a burning love for God.

Christ Jesus, we give you our trust, because you enable us to live from an amazing reality: the kingdom of God is very close, in the midst of us. And every day you give us just enough faith to follow you.
