My Intention for this week is...
Morning Prayer for the Week
Blessed God, Open my eyes to see you today, a brilliant light, present in every circumstance. May I be a conduit for your Holy Spirit. Just as your light shines into the hidden places of my heart, may it shine thorugh me into the darkened corners of the world. Amen.
Evening Prayer
Loving God, your love and light are just as present in the night as in the day. Be a comfort to those who are afraid or alone. As sleep comes, may I be one with you in your realm of uncreated light, fully open to your peace and love. Amen.
