A Prayer

Read a prayer today written long, long ago by Saint Thérèse of Lisieux -- and was struck by the beauty of these immortal words which point to the one and only God of this world. Praise him for the freedom received through Christ, freedom to live and love and laugh, freedom from the insidious bondage of sin.

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing,
Dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.


Amen.
