Lord God, You led your chosen people from slavery in Egypt to the freedom of the Promised Land. We ask you to lead us, this St. Pius X community, from any enslavement to hatred, ignorance, fear, racism, injustice or anything else that prevents us from being the community of love and respect that you want us to be.![]()
We remember with gratitude today the witness of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and we ask that we have the courage and determination to follow his example in battling injustice and living the Gospel of love. Help us, Lord, to make ever more the community you want us to be. Grant all this through Christ our Lord, Amen
Please Lord, keep calling me back to you, by day or by night, in joy and in sadness, during moments of success and moments of failure. Never let me leave you.
God, You are the creator of all things; snow and hail and frost, the ice of winter, as well as the warmth of summer, and I marvel at the mysteries of Your providence in the shaping of our world. Help me to be thankful of all things. Amen
