Lord Jesus Christ
Lord Jesus Christ your light shines within us.
Let not my doubts nor my darkness speak to me.
Lord Jesus Christ your light shines within us.
Let my heart always welcome your love.

2. Veni Sancte Spiritus

Veni Sancte Spiritus

Come, Holy Spirit, from heaven shine forth with your glorious light.
Veni Sancte Spiritus

Come, Father of the poor, come, generous Spirit, come,
light of our hearts.
Veni Sancte Spiritus

Come from the four winds, O Spirit, come breath of God;
disperse the shadows over us, renew and
strengthen your people.
Veni Sancte Spiritus

Most kindly warming light! Enter the inmost depths of our hearts,
for we are faithful to you.
Without your presence we have nothing worthy, nothing pure.
Veni Sancte Spiritus

You are only comforter, Peace of the soul.
In the heat you shade us; in our labour you refresh us,
and in trouble you are our strength.
Veni Sancte Spiritus

On all who put their trust in you and receive you in faith,
shower all your gifts.
Grant that they may grow in you and persevere to the end.
Give them lasting joy!
Veni Sancte Spiritus

3. TRUST IN GOD’S TIMING

Jeremiah 29:11 – Ms. Natalia

¹¹For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

4. Silence with Taize musical background.

5. Sing: LORD JESUS CHRIST

Lord Jesus Christ your light shines within us.
Let not my doubts nor my darkness speak to me.
Lord Jesus Christ your light shines within us.
Let my heart always welcome your love.

Lord you have search me and know me.

You know when I sit down and when I rise up.

You are acquainted with all my ways.

If I take the wings of the morning;

And set to hide in the farthest place in the sea,

Even there your hand shall follow me.

If I say let the darkness cover me,

Even the darkness is not dark to You,

But night is as bright as the day.

Search me, O God, and know my heart.

And lead me in the everlasting way.

Lord Jesus Christ your light shines within us.
Let not my doubts nor my darkness speak to me.
Lord Jesus Christ your light shines within us.
Let my heart always welcome your love.

6. CHOOSE A WAY – Psalm 1 – (Ms. GERRY)

7. Silence with Taize musical background.

¹Blessed is the one
    who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
    or sit in the company of mockers,
²but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and who meditates on his law day and night.
³That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
    which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
    whatever they do prospers.

⁴Not so the wicked!
    They are like chaff
    that the wind blows away.
⁵Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

⁶For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

8. UBI CARITAS

“Ubi caritas et amor,
ubi caritas, Deus Ibi Est.”

English Translation via Google Translate
“Where charity and love,
where there is love, God is there.”

9. CONNECT TO GOD

John 15: 5-8 (Mrs. Adele)

⁵“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. ⁷If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. ⁸This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
