May we be blessed with gratitude for the gift of another new day of life.
May we be blessed with love, love for God and for all people.
May we be blessed with hope; the possibility of growth in each moment.

Give us the strength daily to be instruments of peace;

Let us rejoice in the Spirit
who helps us grow in faith
as we search for truth our whole life long.

All praise be yours, My Lord
through all that you have made.
And first my lord Brother Sun, who brings the day…
How beautiful is he, how radiant in all his splendor!
Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.
