Prayers

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and kindle in them the fire of Your love. Creator Spirit, visit the minds of those who belong to You, fill with grace from on high the hearts which You have made. O God, Who gave the Holy Spirit to Your Apostles, grant to Your people the effect of the same Spirit for the remission of sins and the fulfillment of Your commands. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

In the presence of God: 1. Give thanks. Take a moment to be grateful for the gifts of this day. Notice what has been good. 2. Ask for light. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you see clearly what you could not see on your own. 3. Review your day. Walk slowly through the events of the day. Where did you feel life, joy, connection to God? Where did you feel drained, irritable, distant? 4. Acknowledge what needs forgiveness. Bring any failures honestly before God, without self-condemnation. Accept His mercy. 5. Look forward. What does tomorrow hold? Ask for what you need. Choose one concrete resolution. End with the Lord's Prayer.
