                Reflection

Heavenly Father, walk with me today,

and grant that I may hear your

Footsteps and gladly follow where

they lead. Talk with me today

and grant that I may hear your tender

voice, and quicken to its counsel.

Stay with me today and grant that

I may feel your gentle presence in all

I do and think. Be my strength when

I am weak, my courage when I fear.

Help me to know that it is your hand

holding mine through all the hours of

this day and when night falls grant that

I may know I rest in your

Sacred Heart.
