My Lord and my God,You are Love itself,
the Source of all Love and Goodness!
the Source of all Love and Goodness!
Out of love you created me
to know you, to love you and to serve you
in a unique way, as no one else can.
I believe
that you have a plan for me
that you have a mission for me alone.
Your plan and your mission
are far better than any other that I might choose:
they will glorify you, fulfill the desires of my heart,
and bring salvation to those souls
who are depending on my generous response.
Lord, grant me the light of grace
I need to see the next step in your plan;
Grant me the generosity
necessary to follow your call;
and grant me the courage
required to take up my cross and follow you!
Show me your will, O gentle and eternal God,
and help me to say with Mary,
"I am the servant of the Lord, let it be done
unto me according to your word!"
Let me say with Jesus,
"Let not my will be done, but yours."
AMEN

THE LORD IS NEAR
(Ps. 16)
by Nan Merril, Psalm for the Praying: An Invitation to Wholeness
Remain ever before me, O Living Presence,
for in you am I safe.
You are my Beloved;
In You and through You I can do all things!
I look to those who are One with You,
and learn from them of your ways.
My delight increases,
each time I sense your Presence within me!
Songs of Praise well up from my heart!
I bless the Counselor who guides my way;
in the night also my heart instruct me.
I walk beside the Spirit of Truth;
I celebrate the Light.
I bask in the Oneness of All!
Thus, my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices;
I shall not be afraid,
nor fall in the pit of despair;
For in Love's presence I know the fullness of joy.
You are my Beloved and in you will I live forever!
