The following prayer is one offered to us by one of our mothers: The demands on my time, attention, and energy draw me in many directions, Lord. Yet, without you I can do nothing, and with you all things are possible. Enlighten my mind to discern rightly what is essential. Guide me to evaluate all things with the eyes of faith. Help me to reserve a place in the busyness of each day to be renewed and strengthened, to thank you for your gifts and listen to your voice. O Beloved Lord and Maker of all souls, who desires that I should come to you, draw me by your grace to desire to love you more. Amen.
