Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: Our Father, here I am, at your disposal, your
child, to use me to continue your loving the world, by giving Jesus to me and
through me, to each other and the world.
Let us pray for each other as we allow Jesus to love in us and through
us with the love with which His Father loves him. (Seeking the Heart of God
by Mother Teresa)
Scripture Reading for the Day: Colossians 1:24-2:5
Reading for Reflection:
The more you are called
to speak for God’s love, the more you will need to deepen the knowledge of that
love in your own heart. The farther the
outward journey takes you, the deeper the inward journey must be. Only when your roots are deep can your fruits
be abundant. The enemy is there, waiting
to destroy you, but you can face the enemy without fear when you know that you
are held safe in the love of Jesus. (The Inner Voice of Love by
Henri J. M. Nouwen)

Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Closing Prayer: As I arise today, may the strength of God
pilot me, the power of God uphold me, the wisdom of God guide me. May the eye of God look before me, the ear of
God hear me, the word of God speak for me.
May the hand of God protect me, the way of God lie before me, the shield
of God defend me, the host of God save me.
May Christ shield me today.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ
beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when
I lie down, Christ when I sit, Christ when I stand, Christ in the heart of
everyone who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me. Amen.
~St. Patrick
