O living God, come and make our souls temples of thy Spirit. (Prayer of Taize Community) |

Perfect PRAYER for everyday living...:
Heavenly Father and God of mercy, I believe that Jesus is alive and has become the Lord of life.
From the waters of Baptism you have raised me with him and renewed your gift of life within me.
Increase in my mind and heart the risen life I share with Christ and help me grow in your wisdom and grace.
Lord Jesus, you appeared to your apostles after the resurretion and filled their hearts with joy when you said to them "Peace be with you".
May the peace of your presence abide with me and make each day you give me the most beautiful day of my life.
Lord Jesus, you triumphed over death and destroyed the power of death in me, may I live only for you.
Risen Lord, you brought confusion on the guards at your tomb but joy to your disciples, grant me the fullness of joy as I serve you in spirit and truth.
You promised to be with your disciples, Lord, to the end of the world, stay with me today and remain with me always.
King of glory, centre of my life, grant that when you come again, I may be one with you in glory.
Lord, remember me as in my own way I minister to your people, may my life be holy and an example to your people.
Lord Jesus, purify my heart with your truth and guide me in the way of holiness, so that I may always do what is pleasing in your sight. Amen.
(This above prayer is published in the Catholic Education Office, Bathurst)

"SUCCESS is living in such a way that you are using what God
has given you - your talents, abilities, and energy -
to reach the purpose that he intends for your life." - Kathi Hudson
"Success is doing God's will, glorifying his name,
serving his people, and eventually entering his kingdom."
- By Rev. John Zimmerman, Diocese of Charleston, SC
The Poem
I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.....
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God! Held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
'Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time.'

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.
Thanks!
