For we walk by faith, not by sight, Saint Paul said on his 2nd letter to the Christians of Corinth, (2Cor 5:7).
Today I want to share with you my sisters and brothers one prayer I love. We will discuss human will in the next couple of days.
"Prayer to Bring Christ into Our Day"
Lord Jesus, present before me in the Sacrament of the Altar, help me to cast out from my mind all thoughts of which You do not approve and from my heart all emotions which You do not encourage. Enable me to spend my entire day and night as a co-worker with You, carrying out the tasks that You have entrusted to me.
Be with me at every moment of this day and this night: during the long hours of work, that I may never tire or slacken from Your service; during my conversations, that they may not become for me occasions for meanness toward others; during the moments of worry and stress that I may remain patient and spiritually calm; during periods of fatigue and illness, that I may avoid self-pity and think of others; during times of temptation that I may take refuge in Your grace.
Help me to remain generous and loyal to you this day and this night, and so be able to offer it all up to you with their successes which I have achieved by Your grace and their failures which have occurred through my own fault. Let me come to the wonderful realization that life is most real when it is lived with You as the guest of my soul. Amen
In Christ,
Through Mary
