Heavenly father,
consider your protecting hands over our way through this your world – on which we walk to meet you.
Give us the courage and the strength to go the way of humility and awe – so that our actions and work pay attention to this path – to others and thus to you.
They may be recognize you in all your power and love that you have in particular revealed to us through your Son Jesus Christ.

That love that you can pass through all parts of the world in the form of your breath. Let also grow our love to each other, so that it will become a sign for all your creatures.

Make us attentive to the many tasks that you call us daily.
Father – we need you and your protecting hand.

Amen

Lord – silence wraps around me on that early morning
Only the song of the birds and the church’s morning bells can be heard.
Thank you have given me this day.
The silence makes me anxious and thoughtful.
How quiet it is here –
and how many people have no peace at this very moment.
Living in fear and persecution,
fear the next attack,
the next impact of a projectile …
How many fear this day,
fear the renewed exertions,
the work – which brings too little or no pay,
to live from it.
The stress with some supervisor or masters,
that surely comes today again –
and the agony of the often invisible chains,
the one take the air we breathe.
Concern for friends and relatives,
which are close in reality but yet seem as far away
or are far away and yet seem so close,
the anger or sorrow – which touches us unprepared .

You create every moment new –
and no one comes ever back in the same way again

That you are in and with me –
that makes me happy
And maybe I can give forward this little happiness as a gift
someone who needs it that day
.
Let me be in your charge – o Lord
Amen

God, You are a God of life
and you want that we – men and women
might have life in abundance in your creation.

We come to you full of fear,
helpless and powerless
considering the violence around us and in us.

Convert us in the depths of our hearts
to people which bring Your peace into our world.

Bless with Your Spirit
the creative imagination and the patience
of all people who are with us on the way
to your kingdom of peace.

Send Your Spirit in the hearts of those
which are caught in the web of violence,
– as perpetrators or victims –
and never let us give up the search
for a talk with them.

Thou who art our father and mother
and have exemplified us
how we overcome violence
and can create peace
in our brother Jesus Christ

Amen.

I believe in a world, where hunger and thirst is not known, and joy and peace dominates between the people.

I believe in a world, where you can have beautiful dreams without drugs and consumption.

I believe in a world, where is not a need of masks and wrong facades.

I believe in a world, where war and epidemics are unknown for children.

I believe in a world, where each child, if girl or boy has the right and possibility to learn reading and writing.

I believe in a world, where the people share their knowing and solve in common the problem of the general supply with energy.

I believe in a world, where trees and plants eliminate parking lots and not vice versa.

I believe in a world, where everyone get enough for his life and fraud and covetous of goods and money is long past history.

I believe in a world, where it’s normal to hear the sound of the birds and of flowing water and not of truck, airplane traffic and pneumatic hammers.

I believe in a world, where faith, hope and love governs and not money, prestige and power is the only goal.

I believe in God, the sky on earth and in that human, who respects this paradise and is able to use it right.

Lord, I step in front of you, just as I am,
I step in front of you, sad and depressed,
you transform my load in joy and smiles,
I step in front of you, exhausted and upset,
you transform my load in peace and quiet,
I step in front of you, afraid and guilty,
you transform in my load in courage and freedom,
I step in front of you, alone and abandoned,
you transform my load in friendship and love,
I step in front of you, searching and questioning,
you transform my load in replying and understanding,
I step in front of you, just as I am,
you let me be what I am and I feel that you love me.
