A Lenten Litany by Joyce Rupp

Response Holy One, you are shelter and strength for those in distress.

When loved ones experience pain and suffering…
When illness, aging, or chronic pain diminish our joy…
When doubts arise and confusion fills our minds…
When others fail us or refuse to forgive us for our failings…
When we stumble and stray from the path of goodness…
When death separates us from those we love dearly…
When financial problems threaten our security…
When things do not go the way we planned…
When depression or loneliness return again and again…
When broken relationships have not been mended…
When our faith strengthens and gives us courage…
When the precious gift of life is recognized and appreciated…
When unexpected kindness and caring comes our way…
When optimism stirs in our heart and springtime returns…
When the peace of Christ calms our anxiety and softens our sadness…
When we realize that our loving presence can make a difference…
When the joy of Easter quietly permeates our heart…
From the revised edition of Out of the Ordinary, Joyce Rupp. (Ave Maria Press)
