Oh Holy Christ, Son of God and king of all humanity, we thank you for the gift of life today and we bring to you our hurts, our fears, our disappointments; we are filled with worries about our health, about money, our our place in the world, and about the health and safety of our loved ones. The struggles, the cruelties, and the tribulations of this life sometimes seem unfair and overwhelming. We cannot handle them alone,my lord; we lay them at your feet. You have promised to shoulder our burdens, Lord Jesus, and we are taking you up on your promise. We give ourselves to you, with all our emotional baggage. Teach us to lean upon you, to trust you, to know that in your ultimate victory, all of our fears will prove illusory, and our pains, short-lived. Do not leave us to suffer alone, lord; do not turn your face away. Forgive us our every sin and take us to your bosom, for we are your child and we know you love us. This we pray in your name, whose every word is truth, Amen. UTUTU OMA. THANK YOU JESUS!
