A Prayer for Today

25 August 2017
Attributed to Saint Patrick

Christ, as a light
Illumine and guide me.
Christ, as a shield
Overshadow me.

Christ under me;
Christ over me;
Christ beside me;
On my left and my right.

This day be within and without me,
Lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.
Be in the heart of each to whom I speak;
In the mouth of each who speaks unto me.

This day be within and without me,
Lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.

Christ as a light;
Christ as a shield;
Christ beside me;
On my left and my right.

Attributed to Saint Patrick, bishop of Ireland, 5th century.

Words of Advice to Faith-Inspired Activists

By Thomas Merton

The Big Results Are Not in Your Hands

Do not depend on the hope of results. When you are doing the sort of work you have taken on, essentially an apostolic work, you may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps results opposite to what you expect.
