Giving wings of gratitude to life,
our life becomes a challenge of continual transformation
beyond exteriority…
Hearts that embraces all cultures and peoples,
free to truly love and embrace the world
with understanding, forgiveness, tolerance and humility
to welcome the inner riches of one another as we unfold
from buds by night into flowers by day;
a capacity to grow each day
to see the light shine in the darkness of life's moments
and fly with wings of gratitude and thanksgiving
that make us accept and embrace all…

With the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
we want to live a family spirit that binds us
in joy and in pain,
where loneliness and insecurity find a safe and warm place,
where our pain and gifts are understood and accepted,
where compassion abides.
I succeed, we succeed; I fail, we fail; I rejoice, we rejoice!
Then, our hearts filled with joy and confidence,
we will with faith leave the familiar path
and tread the unfamiliar, knowing our family surrounds us.
A family that heeds our fears
and recognises the seeds of the hidden treasure.
It looks not on my accomplishments
It looks at my inner being
This is where it feels like home forever…

What better way of living the Good News
within and across frontiers!
It is our life that matters most, not what we can do.
Despite the brokenness that we come with on this holy ground,
a precious treasure awaits to be shared…
the fullness of God's love lies here.
Within this treasure lies the richness of our being
and the ability to share the Good News.
To every age, people and nation our hearts want to reach,
in every situation our hearts want to open,
hearts wherein each oone of you has helped to sow seeds,
seeds of hope, trust and acceptance
This heart become whole again and again,
become broken again and again…
Yet God's love abides always!
From the ashes of our failures and hearts longings,
the Lord creates anew.
What better way of making Him known
than to sing His goodness for ever
with our life, with our being!

Thank you, Gracias, Merci, notre Père pour le cadeau de la vie.
Nous voulons donner notre vie pour la mission au service de ton peuple.
Aide-nous à rester fidèle à laisser nos cœurs se remplir de joie
pour chanter sans cesse la chanson de l'amour
Pour le monde avec notre vie,
Pour gravir le sommet des collines et franchir les montagnes.
Nous grandirons ensemble dans l'amour en famille dans la fraternité.
Amen
