Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.

Lord, you have brought me to the beginning of a new day. As the world is renewed fresh and clean, so I ask you to renew my heart with your strength and purpose. Amen

Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us. Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!
