Let us pray for the Church, that walking not by sight but by the light of faith we might see the transfigured Christ bleeding through all that is disfigured in our world and by this humble hope give witness to the truth that God has taken all weakness, all tragedy and disaster to himself in his passion and redeemed them so that in and through them his mercy might be revealed. Let us pray to the Lord.
