Sunday Spiritual - Fifth Sunday of Lent

MARCH 25, 2012

IN THESE DAYS OF LENTEN JOURNEY

In these days of Lenten journey we have seen and we have heard

The call to sow justice in the lives of those we serve.

We reach out to those who are homeless

To those who live without warmth.

In the coldness of evening we'll shelter their dreams;

We will clothe them in mercy and peace.

We open our eyes to the hungry

And see the faces of Christ.

As we nourish all people who hunger for food,

May their faith in our God be renewed.

We open our ears to the weary

And hear the cry of the poor.

To the voices that echo the song of despair,

We will show our compassion and care.

We call on the Spirit of Justice

And pray for righteousness' sake.

We will sing for the freedom of the oppressed;

We will loosen the bonds of distress.
