Loving Jesus,
Walk with us as we make our journey
through the desert of this Lenten season.
When we feel lost and alone,
help us to hear your tender voice calling our name.
When we encounter the brokenness in our world,
inspire us to respond with generous hearts and kind words.
When we are distracted by the noise of this world,
enable us to depend on you for answers.
In all moments, teach us to trust in you
so that as we make our earthly journey
we may come to know of your love and mercy
and one day soak in the heavenly light
with you forever.
Jesus, I trust in you.
Amen.
//
Amado Jesús
Camina con nosotros mientras hacemos nuestro viaje
a través del desierto de esta época de Cuaresma.
Cuando nos sintamos perdidos y solos,
ayúdanos a escuchar Tu tierna voz que nos llama por nuestro nombre.
Cuando nos encontremos con la rotura en nuestro mundo,
inspíranos a responder con corazones generosos y palabras amables.
Cuando nos distraigamos por el ruido de este mundo,
permítenos depender de Ti para obtener respuestas.
En todo momento, enséñanos a confiar en Ti
para que a medida que hacemos nuestro viaje terrenal
podamos llegar a conocer de Tu amor y misericordia
y un día empaparnos Contigo y para siempre de la luz celestial.
Jesús, en Ti confío.
Amén.
