Prayer Thoughts

Making our life a prayer is a daily opportunity to prepare for heaven, approach it as a gift to be used and obtained at the same time.  

 

“God of our life, there are days when the burdens we carry chafe our shoulders and weigh us down; when the road seems dreary and endless, the skies gray and threatening; when our lives have no music in them, and our hearts are lonely, and our souls have lost their courage.

Flood the path with light, run our eyes to where the skies are full of promise; tune our hearts to brave music; give us the sense of comradeship with heroes and saints of every age; and so quicken our spirits that we may be able to encourage the souls of all who journey with us on the road of life, to your honor and glory.” 

[A prayer commonly attributed to St. Augustine]

 

 

"Help me to journey beyond the familiar and into the unknown.  Give me the faith to leave old ways and break fresh ground with You.  Christ of the mysteries, I trust You to be stronger than each storm within me.  I will trust in the darkness and know that my times, even now, are in Your hand.  Tune my spirit to the music of heaven, and somehow, make my obedience count for You."  Amen.  [St. Brendan the Navigator]

 

“God, our refuge, and hope, we turned to You during the COVID 19 Pandemic and pleaded for Your intercession.  In Your mercy and compassion, You carried the dead home with You and gave us grace to comfort each other.  As the Pandemic eases and we look to return to “normal” life, may that “normal” be filled with our prayer and thanksgiving for You and for the many blessings You gave us during these difficult times.  May Your light guide us as we continue our earthly journey and prepare for the gift of eternal love.”  Amen.  [Dcn. George Kelly]

 

Today as you say or do anything give it to God to bless, then it becomes a prayer.
