Only Hope
Merciful Lord, you are our only hope,
Patient Teacher, entertain our questions once again today,
Be patient with our doubts,
Remember your kindness when you answered John the Baptist when he doubted in the dungeon,
Remember our faith is fragile,
Your children are frail from the sins we have committed, and from the sins committed against us,
Do not turn away in anger,
If you shut your ear to our cry we are as good as dead,
When we move into darker places, do not leave us there,
Chase us out from darkness into transparent light,
Help our confession move away from vague generics,
May our confession be heartfelt and personal,
For you Lord are our only hope,
May your children learn about you at the foot of the cross.
