Prayers

Gracious God, in the dawning of the new day, Your grace shines forth for all to see.

Seeing the star at its rising, the magi hastened on their journey.

Jesus, You are both Lord and friend.

Dear Angel at my side, my good and loyal friend, you have been with me since the moment I was born.

Heavenly Father, On whom I depend for all that is good, I give You thanks for every blessing, Including gifts beyond what I have understood.

May I be as a child, growing in understanding, and may my faith increase, too, Cherishing the hope in possibilities That are only possible through You.

Amen.

Blessed Virgin Mary, please join with me in prayer : For openness to the favors God holds out to me — the grace to look ahead with hope and live each moment faithfully; to trust in His love and wisdom with humility, for God knows when to go beyond the possibilities I see.

God, in everything that's happened this year, Both good and bad, We know that you were with us, Always loving and present.

Lord Jesus, May I always have abundant room for You in my heart.

Heavenly Father, I give You thanks That in every time and circumstance You place within eternity The potential of each moment— A lifetime opportunity.

I came to You late, O Beauty so ancient and new.
