![]() JUNE May my horizon this day, Lord, not be so foreshortened that I notice little. Instead, open my eyes that I may see afar and above as well as in front and beneath me. Lead me to keep my life in perspective and balance and discover that the thread of your presence is interwoven through the events and people of this day. Let us pray: Lord our God, open us up to your Spirit living within us, that we may live fully each day of our lives. Touch us, that we may become more aware of all that is around us, growing in a sense of wonder and awe, and in appreciation for all that we see and hear and touch, taste and smell. May we live in such a way that we never take anything for granted, but always be appreciative and express our thanks to those who are part of our lives. Amen. ![]() CARD OF FAITH FOR THE DAY: ![]()

![]() Let us pray: Lord our God, you have made me in your own likeness and you love all that you have made. I thank you for all that has been positive in my life. I ask that I may live in such a way that I may learn from whatever I may find is negative or hurtful in my life. May my disabilities and weaknesses teach me how to be sensitive to individuals, that I may grow more caring and compassionate with others who experience difficulties. May I grow in strength of character through all that happens to me, living fully each day. Amen. ![]() Quote:

![]() We’ll use as our prayer some words of Saint Ignatius Loyola: Teach us, good Lord, to serve you as you deserve; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labour and to ask for no reward, save that of knowing that we do your will. Amen ![]() ![]()

The 10 Commandments can be phrased
in this way: 1 Give God the first place in your life. 2 Don’t love anything more than you love God. 3 Show respect to everything that’s holy, particularly God’s name. 4 You need one day of the week free for rest and for worshipping God. 5 Respect your parents and all who care for you. 6 Do not kill anyone. 7 Sexual love is special - keep it for the person you’re married to. 8 Don’t take what isn’t yours. 9 Don’t do people down by spreading lies about them. 10 Don’t be jealous of what others have. To God be the glory! Amen. The 10 Commandments reflect a basic common-sense way of living. They can guide us in the short-term and long-term choices that we need to make for a good and happy life. ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray: Help me, Lord, to discover the talents I have been given, and not to let them lie unused but to make the best use of them both for myself and for others. May sport help to bring out the best in people, teaching us the lessons of commitment and co-operation, of fairness and appreciation. May sports and hobbies and interests help me to develop my personality that I may be renewed and re-created in your image and likeness. Amen. ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray for all who are not given equal opportunities. Lord, in your mercy - hear our prayer. Let us pray for those who are treated unfairly today, who do not experience justice. Lord, in your mercy - hear our prayer. Let us pray for a growing awareness of the dignity of each person we will meet today, that we may have as much respect for others as we would like them to have for us. Lord, in your mercy - hear our prayer. Let us pray for a change of heart in those who abuse others or take advantage of them; those who take people for granted; those who look down on other people; and those who are selfish. Lord, in your mercy - hear our prayer. ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray and give thanks: Thank you God for Life...a life with meaning in which I can be me, a life of courage to replace the fear. It feels so good to be young and alive, to carry my head high and to keep my mind clear so that I can see and enjoy the truly beautiful world in which you have placed me! Please don't ever let me take my life for granted. Thank you God for Love, for helping me to sow love where only hatred could grow before, for helping to understand my parents and others, show me that, no matter what they do, I can still love them. It is wonderful to know what Love really is--to have that sense of hope which assures me that I don't have to be lonely any more. Thank you God for Joy...the kind of joy that wells within me when I know that my life is in the hands of One who understands and cares as no other can, a joy that brings with it a beautiful feeling of inner peace. And thank you, most of all, dear God for being the greatest friend a young/old person like me can have. ~ Just For Today ~ ![]() ![]()
