Staying Connected through Morning Prayers
|
Good Morning Carondelet Community,
For prayer this morning, we invite you all to click the link for a 30-second breathing exercise. As you focus on your breath, be sure to invite God into your heart and day.
Let us pray:
Loving Creator,
Teach me to not worry about the things that are beyond my control. I know that You have already put those things into perspective for me because You are a God of hope, love, and peace. Envelope me, with Your loving arms and open my heart to the new possibilities this day can bring! Amen.
St. Joseph: Pray for us, God is my light.
In the name of the Creator, the Redeemer, and of the Sustainer. Amen.
Have a great morning and be love in someone’s life today!
