Let us not tire of teaching the love of God
for it is the force for peace
that will overcome and save the world.
So pray now for
Peace before us,
Peace behind us,
Peace under our feet.
Peace within us,
Peace over us,
Peace through us,
Let all around us be peace…
May we all know this peace
and feel the touch of the One
we call by many names.
May you have the strength to meet the day’s troubles.
May all your plans prosper.
May your victories bring goodness to those around you
and those you work with and for.
To set yourself to these ordinary tasks
is to take up the holy work of your life.
Trust it—
money and possessions and glory;
These things come and go and
they will never make us feel secure.
Love, Serenity, Peace,
Charity and Faith is the goal.
It comes from living deeply in the gift of life doing the work of love,
cultivating our gratitude,
and noting the touch of the Holy Spirit
in our lives.
Embolden us this day, Eternal God
to live with eucharistic hearts
open to the call of the Gospel
today and everyday
In Jesus name.
Amen
