Thomas Roemer, a Lutheran pastor from Munich, suggests that every day we consider a word from the Gospel in which Jesus reassures us: ‘I am…’. And every day we entrust a group of European nations in particular.
As in previous years, we do this prayer according to an ancient tradition of Christianity. It is a novena, that is, a nine-day journey, from 30 April to 8 May.
Let us make this journey as a group, community, or even individually, but still united and trusting in the words of Jesus: ‘…if two of you come together on earth to ask anything, it will be granted to them by my Father in heaven. For wherever two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them’. (Mt 18:19-20)
