Father, I praise your Holy Name.
I praise you for your goodness, for your wisdom, for your mercy.
Let it be as you would have it be here on earth:
Let your peace and justice reign, let your love and mercy abound,
and let me be part of bringing that peace and justice, that love and mercy,
into my home, into my community and into my church.
Be with me today as I go through my day.
Help me to recognize you in moments of beauty and companionship, compassion and inspiration; and turn to you in moments of uncertainty, frustration, fear and loss.
Forgive me for when I have not acted as one of your true children - by what I have said and done, or not said or done - and help me to do better.
Help me to be the person you know I can be,
the person I long to be . . .
a person who loves you and loves those you’ve placed around me
whether they are easy to love or hard to love;
whether I know them very well, or just meet them today in passing.
Help me to offer the same encouragement and forgiveness to others that you offer to me.
Finally, I ask you to protect me and those I love from the evil that exists here on earth.
AMEN
Beautiful!
