Brothers and sisters, for Jesus being a son of God means doing the will of the Father, overcoming all kinds of trials and living in fidelity of love. Let us pray.
We want to follow the Master
• That our Church puts its effort into BEING; always on the side of the poor, defending the dignity of every person, giving shelter and rest to so many who do not rest body or heart.
We want to follow the Master
• That believers choose God and neighbor in our daily lives; that our life is a clear option of being over having.
We want to follow the Master
• May we all learn from Jesus and Mary those paths so different from our own: simple paths, small ones that do not lead to failure but to triumph, to fulfillment, to happiness.
We want to follow the Master
• May we thank and support so many people who give their lives every day in favor of the Kingdom: where the interests of God, the interests of the poor and marginalized are at stake.
We want to follow the Master
• May those responsible for our institutions seek peace, justice, the dignity of every person and an equitable distribution of goods throughout the earth.
We want to follow the Master
Father Mother God, we cannot live on the margins of history and conflict if we want to announce the Kingdom of God, that the celebration of this Eucharist represents our option of being over having.
