HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY from Valentine, SSpS
DOA MOHON ROH KEBANGKITAN
Allah Bapa Maha Pengasih dan Penyayang,Engkau sendiri menyaksikan
dunia saat ini mengalami proses kematian di segala bidang.
Ekonomi semakin terpuruk, nyaris mati dipagut dollar
banyak perusahaan merana dan mati.
Angka pengangguran melonjak gila
para pekerja buruh menjerit kian terjepit
antara ganasnya ekonomi global dan lemahnya basis ekonomi nasional.
Kehidupan politik pun memrihatinkan.
Sendi-sendi kebangsaan kian goyah
Pilar-pilar kesatuan pun semakin rapuh
Banyak pemimpin hanya omong banyak
Sejuta pejabat cuma pandai berbohong
korupsi merajalela.
Kerusuhan terjadi di mana-mana,
Memakan korban nyawa dan harta
Mematikan rasa cinta dan persaudaraan
Meruntuhkan kesatuan dan persatuan
Menguburkan kerukunan dan perdamaian.
Ya Bapa Surgawi, inilah situasi dunia saat ini
Serba tak pasti dan membingungkan
Banyak rakyatMu kehilangan arah
Tak sedikit yang kehilangan pegangan
Setiap orang dapat memutar-balikkan dan memalsukan kebenaran dan keadilan.
Ya Allah Bapa Penyelenggara Kehidupan
Berilah kami Roh KebangkitanMu
agar bersama Kristus yang bangkit
kamipun dapat bangkit dari berbagai kubur kematian kami.
Semoga rahmat Paska PuteraMU
membawa semangat dan Roh Pembaharu
bagi seluruh segi kehidupan kami
dan serentak menghidupkan kembali
Iman, harapan, dan impian kami
akan tegaknya nilai-nilai KerajaanMu. Amin
