Shepherd of Our Souls
God the Father has given us his
Son as the shepherd of resurrection for his people. Let us turn with
confidence to the Father, and say:
May the Lord Jesus be our very
life
As a pillar of fire, you lit the
way for your people in the desert: Through his resurrection may Christ
be today the light of our life
May the Lord Jesus be our very
life
Through the voice of Moses you
taught your people from the mountain: Through his resurrection may
Christ be today the voice of our life.
May the Lord Jesus be our very
life
You fed your pilgrim people with
your gift of manna: Through his resurrection may Christ be today the
bread of our life.
May the Lord Jesus be our very
life
You gave your people water from
the rock, through his resurrection may Christ be today the water of our
life.
May the Lord Jesus be our very
life
