OCTOBER
This day, Father,
may my eyes be opened
to see the beauty
in all that is ordinary - yet special -
around me.
May the glory of all that you have made
remind me of your presence
and lead me closer to you.
Let us pray:
Lord Jesus,
you told your friends
not to worry about the future. Mt 634
You showed them
how to have the attitude
of simple trust Mk 1015
that young children have,
so that they could place themselves
into the caring hands of our Father.
And so
I ask for the power of your Spirit
that I may remain positive
throughout all that is ordinary
in my daily life.
I know that your touch
can change people and situations,
and so I ask you
to join me in offering to our Father
not only the good things of this day
but also the suffering and sacrifices
that I want to offer
cheerfully and lovingly,
and in a quiet and hidden way.
And so I pray that everything
- including what is not to my liking -
may be transformed in your presence
for the benefit of other people.
Amen.
