Our Prayer

Dear Lord, you once said,

“The will of him who sent me

is that I should lose nothing

of all that he has given to me.”

These words are a source of consolation this day.

They show that you are doing all that can be done

to keep me in your love.

They demonstrate that indeed

you entered this world to save me,

to free me from the bonds of evil and sin,

and to lead me to your Father’s house.

They reveal that you are willing

to struggle against the strong powers

which pull me away from you.

Lord, you want to keep me, hold on to me,

fight for me, protect me, help me, support me,

comfort me, and present me to your Father.

It indeed is your divine task not to lose me!

And yet I am free.

I can separate myself from you,

and you will never take this freedom away from me.

Oh, what a wonder of love,

what a mystery of divine grace!

Please, Lord, let me freely choose for your love

so that I will not be lost to you.

Amen.
