Almighty God, whose people are knit together in one holy Church, the mystical Body of your Son, grant us grace to follow your blessed saints in lives of faith and commitment, and to know the inexpressible joys you have prepared for those who love you; through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Prayers for every day
Our Relationship with God
O gracious and holy Father,
Give us wisdom to perceive you,
Intelligence to understand you,
Diligence to seek you,
Patience to wait for you,
Eyes to behold you,
A heart to meditate upon you,
And a life to proclaim you,
Through the Power of the spirit
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
St. Benedict
For Others
Lord, make us quiet, as we place in your hands those for whom we want to pray. We know that you love them with a love greater than we could ever imagine. In the stillness we are here, with you, for them.
Use us Lord.
Thank you Jesus.

For Peace
O God,
It is your will to hold heaven and earth
In a single peace.
Let the design of your great love
Shine on the waste of our wraths and sorrows,
And give peace to your church,
Peace among the nations,
Peace in our homes,
And peace in our hearts.

For This Day
Every day you give to me is like a golden treasure to behold
Every day you give to me is like a precious jewel to unfold
Thank you for the morning light, which shines upon the earth you made
For the precious dew drops which sparkle over every blade
For the little things that one forgets to count as seen
To walk with our feet bare upon your emerald green
Hear children’s laughter as they search for the rainbow’s end
This prayer of thank you God, for this day I send

For Sustainance
Almighty God, whose Son revealed in signs and miracles
the wonder of your saving presence:
renew your people with your heavenly grace,
and in all our weakness sustain us by your almighty power;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
