Daily Prayers by Brother Matthew

 

Wednesday, 14 May 2025

God of compassion, even though we want to love as you love us, our lives are not free of frictions or frustrations. Your miracle is your patience towards everyone. By your Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Risen Christ, who is always at work in us even when we are unaware of it, create for us a patient heart. Thus it is that, through all that opposes us, your love forges a way.

Christ Jesus, you groaned deep in your soul at the time of your greatest trial, yet by your faithfulness you have opened a way for us. Then we shall never be alone again when we are in danger of growing faint. Our hope awakens and we dare to sing: "Praise be to you, our God, you who love us with an eternal love!"

Eternal God, you never promise us a life with no difficulties. Your promise, through Jesus, the Risen One, is to be with us every day until the end of time. And then we ask you: "Give me a resolute heart, to follow you right to the end." And your Holy Spirit whispers: "Do not be afraid. I am here."
