Prayer

Jesus, help me to discover my vocation in downward mobility. It’s a scary request… The world is obsessed with wealth and security and upward mobility and prestige. But teach me solidarity, walking with the victims, serving and loving. You offer this for me to consider – downward mobility.

And in this enterprise there is a great deal of hope.
Grant me the courage to lose control.
Grant me the courage to feel useless.
Grant me the courage to listen.
Grant me the courage to receive.
Grant me the courage to let my heart be broken.
Grant me the courage to feel.
Grant me the courage to fall in love.
Grant me the courage to get ruined for life.
Grant me the courage to make a friend.

Amen.
