Litany of Hope at Easter

By Sr Teresa

I am a pilgrim of Hope when I :

• Pray for the world in war-torn places

• Reach out to someone in pain

• Enter into someone’s story with compassion

• show love and care for the lonely

• listen with feeling to someone’s need

• spend time with one struggling with life’s demands

• share my goods with one who has little

• visit the sick or forgotten

• encourage efforts that make the world a better place

• appreciate  nature and God’s creation in bird’s song, flowers blooming and the changes in the seasons

• console and pray with those who mourn

• share a smile with those I meet along the way

• am hospitable and gracious to those who offer a service

• am open to change and new ideas

• accepting of help when others show kindness

• am forgiving when hurt or ignored

• appreciate loyalty and concern

• look for the positive in others actions

• refuse to judge harshly
