PRAYING EACH DAY - NOVEMBER

[MajestyJo]

“I place myself into your hands, Father,”
were the words of Jesus as he lay dying
on the cross.

‘Dying is trusting in the Catcher! Caring
for the dying is saying: “Don’t be afraid!
Remember that you are a beloved son or
daughter of God. He will be there when you
make your long jump… Don’t try to catch
him, he will grab you… Just stretch out
your arms and hands, and trust… trust…
trust.”’

Let us pray:

Help me to grow in trust, Father,
so that I can more readily
place myself into your hands,
confident that all shall be well.
Amen.

If thought more appropriate on the particular
occasion, the words “both now and at the time
of our death” could be omitted. An alternative
prayer:

Let us pray:

Help us to grow in trust, Father,
and place ourselves
into your hands,
both now
and at the time of our death.
Amen.
