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

Good Morning God! You are ushering in another day, untouched and freshly new. So here I am to ask You, God, if You’ll renew me too. Forgive the many errors that I made yesterday and let me try again dear God to walk closer in Your way. But Lord, I am well aware, I can’t make it on my own. So take my hand and hold it tight, for I cannot walk alone.

Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.

Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!
