We live in troubled times, an age of anxiety.
All of us subtly affected by the climate of our age.
We must try to learn emotionally as well as intellectually,
that God is truly very close to each one of us.
His peace He offers in a way the world never can.

PETITION:

Saint Dymphna,
powerful patroness of all who are afflicted mentally and emotionally,
ask our Lord to grant us,
please, an untroubled heart, peace, calm and rest.
Help me to learn how to entrust all my fears and worries into His hands,
and to place all my confidence in Christ's Love for me.
 

God's Word and Practice

GOD'S WORD:

"Why are you so downcast, O my soul?
Why do you sigh within me?
Hope in God!
For I shall again be thanking Him,
in the presence of my Savior and my God."
(Ps42:6)

PRACTICE:

Be always aware of the presence of God in His creation,
in all whom you meet, and especially within yourself.

A Prayer of Praise

Praise to You,
Father for the innocent eyes of children
for sunlight and flowers and snowfalls
for the muscles of men who build houses and hospitals and harbors
for the minds of scholars who unfold the truths of the universe
for the hearts of parents who teach us to love.
We praise You for what we have.
We praise You, too,
for those things that Your wise Love has decided to withhold from us.
What we are and have is from You.
And our grateful response can only be to share these treasures
with all Your children.
And praise to You, too, Father
for so many brothers and sisters.
Amen.
