let me accept joyfully every task

God, our promised land
looking for Jesus
troubled but uplifted
O Lord, our King, and our Saviour!
Let us celebrate this festival without false ideas,
but with our hearts open to receive
your Word,
your promise,
your commandment.
Our grumbles and doubts,
our errors and mistakes,
our stubbornness and defiance,
should trouble us even during these days of joy,
because they trouble you.
