(Happy Easter, girls! I hope you are still rejoicing that our Savior lives! We prayed this prayer at my church's pastoral council meeting last week--I LOVED it and thought I'd share it with you. It has no author written, but it sounds Matthew-Kelly-style to me... -Laura)
The Dynamic Catholic Prayer
Loving Father,
I invite you into my life today,
and make myself available to you.
Help me to become the-best-version-of-myself,
by seeking your will
and being a living example of your love in the world.
Open my heart to the areas of my life that need to change,
so I can carry out the mission you have imagined for my life
and experience the joy you desire for me.
Inspire me to live the Catholic faith in ways
that are dynamic and engaging.
Show me how to best get involved in the life of my parish.
Give our community a hunger for best practices
and continuous learning.
Give me courage when I am afraid,
hope when I am discouraged,
and clarity in times of decision.
Lead your Church to become all you imagined it would be
for the people of our times.
Amen.
