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!
