Lord, help us when things are not going well
Sir, there are days
in which things are not going well,
we are unhappy with each other,
it's hard to break the silence,
we carry division and bitterness in our hearts.
Help us understand our mistakes
and give us courage and humility
to recognize them and let us correct them,
to ask and give forgiveness.
Help us understand
the suffering and the expectation that is in the heart of the other,
give us the strength of the first step
which opens the way to understanding and love.
Help us never to lose the dialogue
in our daily life,
to always meet us in sincerity and truth.
Help us because even in fatigue
of difficulties and conflicts
we can find an opportunity to grow,
to learn to forgive,
to know us better, to discover that love
it is stronger than our weakness.
Help us understand
and to welcome us into our diversity,
because, instead of a reason for division,
they become precious occasions
of unity and wealth for us and for others.
Amen
