“Lord, at the beginning of this day, I come to ask you for health, strength, peace and wisdom. I want to look at the world today with eyes full of love, to be patient, understanding, meek and prudent. I want to see, beyond appearances, your children as you yourself see them, and thus see nothing but the good in each one. Close my ears to all slander. Guard my tongue from all evil. May only blessings fill my spirit. May I be so kind and joyful, that all who approach me feel your presence Lord, cover me with your beauty, and that, during this day, I reveal you to everyone. Amen.
