“God, grant me the serenity to accept

the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

enjoying one moment at a time;

accepting hardship as the pathway to peace;

taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is,

not as I would have it;

trusting that He will make all things right

if I surrender to His will;

that I may be reasonably happy in this life

and supremely happy with Him forever

in the next.

Amen”

- Reinhold Neibuhr

“ Lord Jesus, living Word of the Father,

in You we find the light that guides our steps.

We know that the human heart lives restless,

hungry for meaning,

and only your Gospel can give it peace and fullness.

Teach us to listen to you each day in the Scriptures,

to let ourselves be challenged by your voice,

and to discern our decisions from the closeness to your Heart.

May your Word be nourishment in weariness,

hope in darkness, and strength in our communities.

Lord, may your Word never be absent from our lips or from our hearts –

the Word that makes us sons and daughters,

brothers and sisters, disciples and missionaries of your Kingdom.

Make us a Church that prays with the Word,

that is built upon it and shares it with joy,

so that in every person the hope of a new world may be born again.

May our faith grow in the encounter with you through your Word,

moving us from the heart to reach out to others,

to serve the most vulnerable,

to forgive, build bridges, and proclaim life.

Amen.”

-Pope Leo XIV
