Eternal God, increase our confidence that our life is in your hands. With Jesus the Christ we know that even death cannot separate us from you, and that we will live with you for ever

God of love, for all people you want life in fullness. Rekindle our hope that the time of evil is limited, and that your mercy will have the final word for every human being.

Christ Jesus, help us to grasp this reality: we remain in you and you remain in us, inseparably. You support us, you awaken our energies, you trust US. And you invite us to do the same for the people around us.
