Bishop Giaquinta
Enflamed by the Spirit,
we come to You, Father,
to receive Your love
and the love of the Word made flesh and crucified.
Lord Jesus, from the height of the Cross,
may Your thirst reach us,
who - thirsty for love - wish to quench Your thirst.
Few loved enough to share with You
the sorrowful tragedy of Calvary.
Few are those who,
docile to the action of the Spirit,
remain with You now, Source of love.
Father, we come here today
to make up for such human senselessness
and to give to You
our love without reserve.
Lord, that alone is not enough for us.
We pray that our number increase evermore
until it becomes a chorus of love
lifted up from all parts of the world
in response
to Your thirst on the Cross,
to the invitation of the Spirit,
to Your call, O God-Love.
Heavenly Father, this is our desire that we offer You
as a commitment,
trusting that Mary, mother of holiness,
will help us to generously live it.
Amen.
