Let us pray:
Almighty God,
throughout human history
you have revealed yourself
as the presence of Divine Mercy.
In our wars,
you have tolerated our evil toward others.
In our tragedies,
you have suffered with our losses.
In our addictions,
you have been patient with our healings.
In our stubbornness,
you have turned us toward conversion.
In our multi-tasking,
you have hidden the desire for holiness.
In our selfishness,
you have awakened our hearts to caring for others.
Your divine mercy
has been a channel of hope and comfort
in our walk of faith.
May your beloved son, Jesus Christ,
be our companion and savior
whenever our hearts are open
to the newness of life
he brings as a river of Divine Mercy.
Amen.
