Spring of life, God of compassion, help us at every moment to turn towards you to welcome the living water that you want to pour out in our hearts. And then a song rises up from deep within us: You love me with a love that will never end.

Christ Jesus, your love is not just a word: it is life. As you washed the feet of your friends, we too would like to give ourselves to the end for others in the wake of this love. Even if we find it hard to live from you, the Holy Spirit will come to help us, and little by little the joy of loving, the joy of serving, will spring up in our hearts.

Faithful God, praise be to you for the witnesses of all the ages who have announced the good news of your love. By your Son, Jesus, you reveal that that love has no limits and is beyond everything we could imagine. May your Holy Spirit give us the daring to step over the threshold between what seems possible to us and what is possible for you.
