May we be ready, Loving Christ, for the day that is ahead of us. If we meet challenges may we face them with confidence and passion. Let us give our all to the work we are attempting to accomplish and be fully present to those we encounter. Let us be supportive of others and show them that we want then to succeed because their success builds upon our success. Let this day be filled with joy, wonder and compassion. All this we ask in your name, O God. Amen
