Days that changed the world

A prayer for the Church

A prayer for the Church in troubled times

Lord, your Church is like a ship all at sea

It is at once beset with the storms of controversy

yet surrounded by the drowning waters of disinterest.

Be then a light ahead to guide us

a commanding presence walking through the apathy

and an inspiring voice stilling the storm

encouraging your disciples

and taking the helm until we reach again

safer shores.

Amen
