Prayer Offered for January 21, 2025

Come, O Life-giving Spirit, transform us.

Kindle within us the warmth of Your love, which is Your gift.

Give us wisdom to see as You see.

Give us understanding to hear as You hear.

Give us courage and strength to walk the way of justice and integrity.

Awaken in us wonder and awe that we may have grateful spirits.

You who dwell within us, pray unceasingly, fill us with love and devotion.

Holy Wisdom, guide us in all the choices we must make.

Give us discerning hearts, that we may choose what is good in accordance with Your desire.

Loving God of Mercy, finish in us the work You have begun.—AMEN.
