Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
How happy I am, O my God, to find You always present wherever I may go or wherever I may be. Awaken me to Your presence; waken me to Your indwelling; waken me to inward sight of You, and speech with You, and strength from You. May my spirit leap up to You all day and in all ways. Amen.
Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!
