Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd, In Your love, please bless the priests Given to Your flock to guide; And the deacons ordained to serve, Bringing care and justice to abide.
Loving Father, When the days of summer turn To autumn in color glorious, I join Creation in giving praise For the panorama of love around us.
Lord, please watch over me today And bring me safely through each hour.
Lord, affliction You accepted, And suffering You bore.
Blessed Virgin Mary, When I feel like a vessel too fragile To hold the cares that trouble me, Please ask the Lord in His great love to bestow The strength and every grace I need.
Loving God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Each sunrise is unlike any seen before— The advent of a new day And an invitation to look at things A little differently than I have before.
Lord Jesus, Wherever the violence of anger erupts And its lava buries innocence, I pray for peace of heart that comes with faith overflowing and spreading forgiveness.
Lord and Savior, In my human imperfection, You know that I have sinned and am sorry; May the good works that I can do Be filled with faith and give You glory.
Lord, at times when I don't want to look For blessings in disguise, Please show me Your love in ways I'll see Through my discouraged eyes.
For the food served at this table, Thank You, O Lord, my Savior.
