This new day is fresh with possibility to encounter the Living Christ.

With bright eyes, let us search.

 

This new day is fresh with possibility to understand the Living Christ.

With engaged minds, let us ponder.

 

This new day is fresh with possibility to be moved by the Living Christ.

With compassionate hearts, let us feel.

 

This new day is fresh with possibility to respond to the Living Christ.

With solid devotion, let us follow.

With strong voices, let us sing.
