Lord God,
We come searching for Your wisdom.
Grant us the ability to be still and listen. (Pause for silence.)
We bring our hopes and fears, our expectations and misgivings.
Grant us the courage to trust You. (Pause for silence.)
Show us the path; keep us steadfast.
May we keep our eye forever focused on You. (Pause for silence.)
Amen

"Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient yet ever new, late have I loved you! You were here inside me all the time as I was running around outside looking for you."
St. Augustine
Confessions, 10.27
"In and through the events, problems, difficulties and circumstances of everyday life, God comes to the family, revealing and presenting the concrete "demands" of their sharing in the love of Christ for the Church, in the particular familial, social and ecclesial situation in which they find themselves."
John Paul II
