Today We Pray






Lord, you are always there
waiting for me.
May I never be too busy to
find time to spend in your presence.

A thick and shapeless tree-trunk
would never believe that it could become a statue,
admired as a miracle of sculpture,
and would never submit itself to the chisel of the sculptor,
who sees by his genius what he can make of it .
I ask for the grace to let myself be shaped by my loving Creator.

I ask how I am within myself today?
Am I particularly tired, stressed, or off-form?
If any of these characteristics apply,
can I try to let go of the concerns that disturb me?

Amen
