Lord,
I know you love me
and have great plans for me.
But sometimes I am overwhelmed
by the thought of my future.
Show me how to walk forward
one day at a time.
May I take heart while I search openly
for what it is you want me
to do with my life.
Inspire in me wisdom and understanding
to see your vision for my life
and respond with openness to
whatever you call me to be.
Show me your way Lord!
Amen. |
God, the source of
creation and love,
You invite each of
us to serve you through the life
which is your gift.
May your grace
encourage men and women to heights
of holiness through service to the church
as priests, sisters, brothers, and lay ministers.
Make me an
instrument to encourage others
to give of themselves and
challenge me to do the same.
Amen. |
Gracious God,
You are the gentle presence,
the peaceful light,
that fills our whole world.
We believe that you care
for all your creatures
with wisdom and love.
Take care of us, your Church, this day.
Give to us all grace and courage
to live out our baptism
as faithful disciples
of your son, Jesus Christ.
Give us good pastors who
will call us to love and forgiveness
and lead us in worship
in the community of the Spirit.
Bring forth from among us other ministers
whose many-splendored gifts
will strengthen our community.
Raise up people in religious life
who by their unusual witness
to the Gospel
will call us to the love
of God and neighbor.
You have enfolded the smallness of our
humanity in your divinity.
Fill us all with your Holy Spirit.
Amen. |

Express your trust and praise of God with this video
of Mozart's rendition of Psalm 117:
Laudate Dominum.
Or offer yourself to God, as expressed in the video:
To Surrender Oneself.
You might want to visit the
Virtual Chapel and simply sit in silence for a few minutes.
Jesus is the prime
object of our faith... We come to know in Jesus that the
REALITY, the MYSTERY in which we are immersed, the nature of
which we could know nothing unless disclosed to us, loves us.
