I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again, he rose again from the dead,
he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen.

In the midst of a great crowd,
in the midst of all those people,
a woman, a woman touched him.
In the midst of a great crowd,
in the midst of all those people,
a woman, a woman touched him.
‘Who is it that touched me?’
‘Who is it that touched me?’
said Christ, said Christ, and he stopped.
A woman all a-tremble,
a woman all a-tremble,
said to Christ: ‘It was I.’
‘I am an impure woman,
who suffers from a flow of blood;
I am an impure woman,
who suffers from a flow of blood.’
‘But as soon as I touched your garment,
but as soon as I touched your garment,
the flow of blood stopped.’
‘Daughter,
your faith,
your faith has saved you!’
In the midst of a great crowd,
in the midst of all those people,
a woman, a woman touched him.
If you want to touch Christ,
if you want to touch Christ,
you can touch him through faith.
For he’s the Son of God,
who was to come into the world,
to heal you, to save you.
In the midst…

To this day we suffer hunger,
we suffer thirst and nakedness.
To this day we suffer hunger,
we suffer thirst and nakedness.
We are persecuted and we go wandering.
We are persecuted and we go wandering.
Insulted, we bless;
beaten, we endure.
When we are slandered,
we answer with love.
When we are slandered,
we answer with love.
We have become,
we have become,
we have become,
the scum of the earth,
and the rejected of the world.
For I think,
that to us
apostles,
God has allotted
the last place.
Like men sentenced to death,
like men sentenced to death,
like men sentenced to death,
like men sentenced to death.
Held up
as a spectacle
before the world,
before the angels,
before mankind,
before mankind.
Like men sentenced to death…
We have become…

O Lord, help me, O Lord!
O Lord, help me, O Lord,
never to doubt you!
O Lord, help me, O Lord,
never to doubt your love!
The gift of your grace
has left my heart in blossom
with longings for love,
with longings for love;
I can do no more than suffer
and spend my life in sighs.
And in this flame of your love, this dark flame,
in this veil, that wraps my soul and stifles it,
I feel that my heart is displaced,
opening, pouring out,
like water flowing through your garden.
O Lord, help me, O Lord!
O Lord, help me, O Lord,
never to doubt you!
O Lord, help me, O Lord,
never to doubt your love!
And in this flame…
