Prayer.

I found this prayer in the Moments with God prayer book of Ate Belen. I will delete some parts which aren't applicable to me. Original prayer is published in Moments with God - Pauline's Publishing House.

Heavenly Father,
By Your love You created us, one for the other, to be united in your eyes. No we come to you, in the name of Jesus who said - "Where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am in their midst."

Bless our life together that by our fidelity and love for each other we may be witnesses of Christ, Your Son.

You willed us to be united that we may know how to manage material blessings, so that we help those in need, they will see only Your Providence. In times of need, teach us to be humble so that we may know how to admit and share even this that humiliates us. Keep us enlightened, so that we may see other - our relatives, our friends and all those that you send us, not as loads that burden us but as souls that need to be nourished. Make us aware that our souls too can be nourished, if we remain faithful in Your love.

Remind is to care for our body, the temple of the Holy Spirit, so that we may also learn to care for all Your creation. Teach to be simple and modest, so that our home and our family may reflect the Trinitarian Life in the Little House of Nazareth. Give us wisdom so that we may remain strong when we are called to defend what is right and what is good according to Your will.

Shower us with Your love so that we may be a channel that will bring this love to all.

In moments of temptation, let us see Joseph, humble and faithful, knowing only to serve You. In moments of sorrow and despair, let us see Mary at the foot of the cross, desolate but ever obedient. In moments of suffering let us see the face of Jesus, crucified and forsaken yet even more united to You - "Abba"

Mold us so that we may keep the flame of love always alive in us. For the times we failed to love, we ask Your mercy. We are nothing without You; but, You are Love.

We entrust ourselves to You. Help us, we pray, that we may be victorious in our desire to keep ever alive the presence of Jesus in our midst.

Amen
