Today’s Prayer:
Loving God, We sometimes feel like we are crossing a barren desert, but we know you will not let us die of thirst. We sometimes wander far in safety though often we do not know the way. We speak your words, O God, sometimes in foreign lands and we pray people will understand. We hope to see the face of God and live. So, Lord, we will not be afraid because you always go before us, we will come and follow you because we know you will give us rest! Sometimes it feels as if we are passing through raging waters in life, that we are in the sea, but we trust you will not let us drown. We know that if we walk amidst the burning flames of life you will not let us be harmed. And if we stand before the power of hell and death is at our side, we know that you are always with us through it all. So, Lord, we will not be afraid because you always go before us, we will come and follow you because we know you will give us rest! Lord, blessed are the poor, for you told us the Kingdom will be theirs. Blessed are all of us who weep and mourn because one day we shall laugh. And if hurtful people insult and hate us because of you may we to be blessed. So, Lord, we will not be afraid because you always go before us, we will come and follow you because we know you will give us rest. My God bless us today and always through the intercession of St. Paul of the Cross. Amen! (Adapted from the song “Be Not Afraid” by Bob Dufford, S.J.)
