"Your path seems as clear as light - shining even, so clear does it appear
that you are where he wishes for you and where his special graces await you."

| Prayer for Guidance |
 |
‘God’s will in your regard
will be your polar star.
View it calmly and steadily.’
[Margaret Aylward] |
God of all creation and God of my life, give me the courage to follow
the guidance of my polar star
which is your will for my life. |
| Grant me the desire and the courage to respond with great generosity and love to Christ’s call in my life. |
Deepen my appreciation
of the gift of faith.
Open my ears to hear
the crying needs of our people
and planet. |
|
Drawn by the shining light of
Margaret Aylward’s faith,
courage and compassion and empowered by your Holy Spirit,
may I bear witness in
my living and relating
to the love and truth of Jesus
in our day. Amen
