To Pray your day

 


Today try these prayers to guide you through your day and make your day one with the Lord.  St. Francis of Assisi offers us this spiritual insight, "All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle."  You are God’s candle shine the Lord’s light wherever you go and whatever you do. 

To start your day: Almighty Father, you have brought us to the light of a new day: keep us safe the whole day through from every sinful inclination.

May all our thoughts, words and actions aim at doing what is pleasing in your sight.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

God, for ever and ever.” Amen  [From the Liturgy of the Hours] 

During your day: Lord, I give You this word, action or thought. 

At the end of the day before retiring for the evening: “I am sure I shall see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living.

Hope I am sure I shall see the Lord’s goodness

in the land of the living.

Hope in him, hold firm and take heart.

Hope in the Lord! in him, hold firm and take heart.

Hope in the Lord!” 

"Out of the depths, I call to you, Lord. Lord, hear my cry!" [de profundis Prayer, Psalm 130]

Your day has ended but the Lord continues to be with you as you rest in His love. 

St. Joseph pray for us. 

St. Francis de Sales pray for us.  

May God Be Praised.
