PRAYER

Dear God, may we meet mercy each day,

In light of our own heart, at the hands of our loved ones,

In the eyes of the stranger and the needy.

If by chance we do not at first meet it, then may we search our heart for it,

Listen patiently for word of it, and it will tap us on the shoulder,

A quiet surprise, a small gesture, the tender look, 

given and received in the encounters of our day.

We pray for the strength to be filled with mercy as we walk on this,

our precious earth.

We ask all this through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

 

 

Amen  

 

St Norbert, pray for us
