Prayer: Sr. Joyce Rupp (adapted)

                              May the Gospel teachings resound in 

   your thoughts…

May you listen closely to how God

   invites you to grow spiritually…

May you slow down and look more

   intently in order to find

   God’s movement in your life…

May you carry any cross of difficulty

   with courage, trusting God’s

   strength to uphold you…

May your service be so intertwined

   with God that this love overflows

   from your heart…

May you keep turning your heart to

   God and allow this love to be reflected

   in the way you live your life…

May you welcome God’s companionship

   and guidance as you travel the path 

   of life… and so…

Return with all your heart…

Remember, the Holy Spirit dwells in you.

         Be at peace.
