NOW THAT NOW THAT

I AM SICK...I AM SICK...

Father, now that I am sick,

Let my heart search you

And let it pour out in you.

Come down with your

goodness up to my fears,

my darkness and doubts.

Fill with your presence

my empty silences grant me peace in tensed moments

calmness in difficulties generosity

when I am pressed down make alive with

your Word my fallen hope,

help me to abandon myself in you,

to be grateful, at all moments.

Father, now that I live in

adversity, grant that my

eyes not cease to look

at the cross of your Son,

As it is in it, according

to what we are told.

We´ll find trhe strength

to love further than our limits.

Father, may the Spirit

lead me to persevere till the end

On this long path of hope.

Amén.
