God our Father,until the time of the printing press,people copied the Gospel,writing it by hand.Slowly the Gospel took shape- both on the pageand deep within themselves.I ask that the Gospel- the Good News of your love -may be written in menot with inkbut with the Spirit of God. Only then will I grow as a credible witnessof the wealth of your love.Day by day,as the pages of my own life turn over,remind methat you write my nameon the palm of your hand. I ask this prayer through Jesus,who is your Word,

living amongst us.

Amen.

Loving Father,

when all is uncertain

and we feel our weakness and helplessness,

give us the sense of Your presence,

Your love, and Your strength.

Help us to have perfect trust

in Your protecting love

and strengthening power,

so that nothing may frighten or worry us,

for, living close to You,

we shall see Your hand,Your purpose, Your will through all things.

God our Father,

extend our horizons,

widen our vision,

and remind us how inter-connected we are

as your sons and daughters.

Breathe your Spirit into us

that we may live more truly

as brothers and sisters of one another

Amen

Lord, we ask you to open our eyesthat we may value and appreciate all people,recognising what we have in commonrather than focusingon what our differences might be.Inspire us to distinguishbetween what is importantand what is not,and open our minds and heartsthat we may always be people of good willwho bring life and joy to others. Amen.
