July 2025 – Elder’s Message
In me there is darkness, But with You there is light;
I am lonely, but You do not leave me;
I am feeble in heart, but with You there is help;
I am restless, but with You there is peace.
In me there is bitterness, but with You there is patience;
I do not understand Your ways, But You know the way for me.
Lord Jesus Christ,
You were poor and in distress, a captive and forsaken as I am.
You know all man’s troubles; You abide with me
When all men fail me; You remember and seek me;
It is Your will that I should know you and turn to You.
Lord, I hear Your call and follow;
Help me.
– Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison
