Sweet Jesus, lay Your wounded hand upon my head and bless me. Stretch that same dear hand and bless each one at home . Give me Your staff . Help me to go around in Your fold just for today, doing Your work Your way. Push me back when I go wrong and make me go forward when I am afraid to do right. Be with me in my dealings with each soul with whom I come into contact and grant that each may know, love and serve You better for having passed by me.

I want to know, love and serve You above all things. And when life's little day has ended and its task complete,  give me a place at Your Feet to rest for all eternity.

My dearest Lord, what do You send me today? Humiliations, contradictions, physical sufferings, bad news which I do not expect, an aching heart, a failure? Shall I see myself misjudged, wrongly suspected, despised? All that You wish, O my God; I accept it all in advance, and if I weep through weakness oh regard it not; if I murmur, check me; if I am forgetful, forgive me; if I am discouraged, raise me up. But through it all, teach me to say, "Thy will be done"

My dearest Lord, I thank Thee for having made me a Christian and kept me this night . I offer you my actions of this day. Grant that they all will be according to Thy will and Thy greater honour and glory . Amen.
