After going thru all the Tim Russert memories with the NBC family last week, I have never wanted to be an Irish/Catholic more. They turned all the things I thought about parochial school on its ear and gave me a wide-eyed view of what it is to be in an Big Catholic family and I was so ready to sign up.
During the memorial service last Wednesday, Maria Kennedy talked about this prayer that she starts each day with. I googled it after the service so I could get it in its entirety. It seemed to me a great prayer to start the day with so I decided that starting this week I would incorporate it into my daily routine as well.
It was a tough weekend and all I can say is that I wish I had started it on Thursday. It might have made all the difference. I got it out last night and read it and re-reread it.This layout is now the wallpaper on my computer. This morning, I read it again and let it slowly sink it. Really sink in. Soon it will be a part of me and it will come from the inside out. Until then, I will soak in all the God is and marvel from from He comes. I truly believe we have no idea of His comings and goings, we are merely to be ready when He shows up.
May Today there be peace within
May you trust God that you are exactly
where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities
that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God
let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul
the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of you.
Amen...
