....Prière du leader..Leader's Prayer....

….Mon Dieu,
On me dit que j’ai du nerf, de l’initiative, de la vision…
Cela me flatte et je m’en désole.

On attend que j’avance, que je dise ou fasse quelque chose.
Ça me pèse, et m’oblige.

J’aimerais parfois marcher à l’arrière, mais fuir serait trahir cette force qui m’anime. La perdre, serait perdre le sens et la direction.

C’est toi qui m’attires, qui m’entraînes, et qui attises en moi cette fougue au service de la juste cause.

On se fie sur moi? Moi, je me fie sur toi.

Amen.

..

Lord ,
They say I have nerve, initiative, vision. It flatters me and that worries me.

People wait for my move, or for me to say or do something. I feel very uncomfortable, and I feel obliged.

Sometimes I would like to stay at the back, yet running away would betray the urge that drives me. To lose it would be to lose purpose and direction.

It is you who draws me, who motivates me, who stirs up this flame at the service of the just cause.

People lean on me, but I trust in you.

Amen.
