As always, I’m trying to make decisions with the community’s safety and well-being being the primary consideration, and love being our primary value. I pray everyone is well and staying safe. Blessings, Father Michael+ Today's Prayer Prayer for the Start of a New Day This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen. BCP p. 461 Know that God is with us. |
