Grant all of us the gifts of hope, perseverance, generosity, and kindness.Įvery time I walk the pathways of this shrine, Lord, I am surrounded by trees that are nearly a hundred years old or more. Show me ways to move forward give me insight to find steps to make a difference, no matter how small. On nearby streets in my neighborhood there are people who are struggling with drug use, mental health issues, abuse, and more. Near and far there are wars, violence, suffering, and injustice. Loving God, there are times I feel overwhelmed by the world around me.

We thank you, God, for the light of this new day. We pray that your light will guide us back to the right path when we stray off course, that it will remove any and all dark thoughts we might have this day. We pray that your light be reflected in our professional decisions and the many choices we will make throughout the day. Let your light illuminate the words we say, keeping us from hurting others, but always praising you. As the day comes to a close, we thank you, because we know, even in the absence of the sun’s light, you will be with us, to protect us until the morning comes. We pray these things in your holy name. Amen.
We ask that you comfort and heal the many who continue to suffer from the physical and emotional wounds of that day. We ask for your blessings on all of these, and on all of us, in the name of Jesus, you Son. Remember, Lord, those who lost their lives twenty-one years ago today. We pray that you embrace in your love the families and friends of those who died that horrible day. Console them with the knowledge that those they lost have found a new and perfect home with you. Be with those who bravely risked they lives to save others, especially those who lost their lives to save complete strangers, in selfless acts of love. Lord, bless and multiply my simple service to nourish the body and spirit of those in desperate need around me. Open my heart and my cupboards to generously offer to others from what I have. Philip Benizi, may I too take concrete steps to help the hungry around me. Thank you for the comfort your share with us through them.Ī Prayer for Week of Service, Day 1: Helping those in need I ask a special prayer for all those animals that become family members as pets. Help me to tend to all living things around. Our holy brother, Saint Francis, called all creatures your brothers and sisters. A Prayer for Week of Service, Day 2: Care and Love for All Creation
