Oratio: Shared Suffering

In Christ
our trials and tribulations
are given meaning
our shared suffering
opens our hearts to love
for all who grieve
for all who mourn
for all who are lost
through Christ
our burdens are transformed
we are reborn of the Spirit
that binds us
with the yoke of love
to our fellows
