Lord Jesus, I ask you to open my eyes as you did with the blind man, Jn 9 so that I may really see. Tune my ears as you did with the man who was deaf and dumb, Mk 731-37 so that I may really hear what you are saying to me. May the many experiences of my senses remind me to be aware of others and of all that is around me. May all that I experience lead me closer to you. Amen
God of love, open our ears to hear your word and open our hearts that we may always speak up for what is right Amen We pray for peace in our world: that all people may live without fear and have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Amen We pray for the courage to stand up & make our voices heard, to speak out for a world where all people may live free from poverty Amen
Open my senses, God, to understand and answer the needs of others. Keep my ears attuned to the laughter of children, my eyes to the needs of the hidden. Let my nose smell the beauty of flowers . May my touch be gentle in raising up those who live under a heavy burden. May I savour the taste of your abundance and make the earth sustainable for all. Open my senses, God. Amen

I dream of a world where governments are on the side of the poor, those without land, the homeless and the unemployed; those in society who are not considered to be children of God and Mother Earth. I dream of a world where chemicals, herbicides, fungicides, pesticides and other deathly substances disappear from the earth forever. I dream of a world where the richness of forests, the fresh air, fields and rivers can, with humanity, live life to the full and praise God the creator. I dream of a world where the reign of God would also be a reign of justice and peace and love for the whole of creation. If we all dream The dream will become a reality...
