Jesus, contemplating you in the Gospel makes us tremble, walk and be with you. We see you speaking with authority, taking comfort and clarity to the hearts, serving on your knees and welcoming all, washing the disciples’ feet, you taught us to share loaves and fishes to feed one another. You told us that, if we want to be first, we should learn to be last. You gave us an example of care and respect for women and children, the fragile ones of your time. Give to the politicians who lead your people, a heart like yours, so that they may perform their political task as a mission at the service of your sons and daughters, with self-sacrifice, dedication and gratuity. May they give priority to the most fragile, and put them at the center above all other interest. Amen.
