If only we had been more aware
how often we meet the Lord in life!
Let us ask him to forgive us.

Lord Jesus, you seem absent
when we struggle with suffering,
but you are there with your strength:
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Jesus Christ, often we forget you
in the cares of everyday life,
but you are there with us:
Christ, have mercy. Christ, have mercy.
Lord Jesus, we neglect to care for you
in our sick and neglected brothers and sisters,
but you want us to serve you in them:
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Forgive us all our sins, Lord,
and make us look for your presence.
Walk with us and lead us
to the feast of everlasting life. Amen.
