INTENTION : |
That all those who are going through moments of inner difficulty and trial may find in Christ the light and support which leads them to discover authentic happiness.

Today questions like "Where do I find standards to live by, what are the criteria that govern responsible cooperation in building the present and the future of our world? On whom can I rely? To whom can I entrust myself? Where is the One who can offer me the response capable of satisfying my heart's deepest desires? Asking such questions also means searching for Someone who can neither deceive or be deceived, and who can offer a certainty so solid that we can live for it, if need be, even die for it.
When questions like these appear on the horizon of life, we must be able to make the necessary choices. It is like finding ourselves at crossroads: which direction do we take? Ultimately, it is happiness that we seek. The happiness that we have a right to enjoy has a name and a face: it is Jesus of Nazareth, hidden in the Eucharist. Only He gives the fullness of life to humanity.
If we let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing of what makes life free, beautiful and great. Only in this friendship can we experience the meaning of life.
Hence, we pray that all those who are undergoing difficulties and trials may find in Christ the light and support to discover authentic happiness by developing a personal friendship with Him. This personal relationship with Christ will allow them to experience the purpose and joy of living in the service of God and neighbour.
