He came to bring the Mourners Joy

For the Fruit of the Spirit is in all Goodness and Righteousness and Truth

Show me the narrow Path of Life, O Lord, which You walked: Your struggles, the rocky Road, Your waiting and Your prayers. More and more make them known to me. Take me by the Hand and lead me to that Homeland where my Spirit may rest in Peace.

Lord, let me as a Child of Light conquer the Darkness. There is nothing here in the World that can truly satisfy me. Therefore, O Lamb of God, acknowledge me that I may follow You and neither stand still nor look back.

Let Your shining Light drive away the Darkness. Let me be counted among Your Disciples and follow you to the Cross, beckoned by Your holy Grace. The Love from Your Heart carries me to my highest Reward.

How great my Joy will be if I have remained faithful to You and the Shame of the Cross has not driven me away. I hear Your tranquil Voice above all earthly Leaders: You are the only Leader I choose.

Now then, let me be daring and choose the Thorns to spur me onward. We can only win our Crown after passing through this World of Mockery and Scorn. O Lord, the burden of Your Yoke is Light. Blessed is the One Who leads you forward to your reward. Amen.
