Today We Pray

Dear Lord, this day, give me not the spirit of laziness, despair, lust of power, and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of sobriety, humility, patience and love to Thy servant. Grant me to see my own transgressions and not to judge my brother, for blessed art Thou unto ages of ages.

Teach me the steadfastness of Your love, mighty Savior. Teach me Your humility, Your selflessness. Teach me to be a devoted servant.

Look with grace, I pray, on my small and tarnished loving. Protect it, foster it, strengthen it, that my love may be less unworthy to be offered to you and to Your children. O Light of the world, teach me how to love.

Amen
