Together We Can

God, my Friend,

I offer You each moment of this day:

whatever comes—the unexpected challenges,

diversions from my plans, the need-filled glance,

the expectations and complaints, the being taken for granted, the

slights and sleights-of-hand. I’d be grateful if You could keep me aware of

my pesky habits, like . . .

And, between us, perhaps we can enliven the spirits of

those I live and work with, like . . .

Whatever else befalls,

I trust we can cope with it,

together.

Amen.

William J. O’Malley

"We can ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito. And the incognito is not always hard to penetrate. The real labour is to remember, to attend. In fact, to come awake. Still more, to remain awake."

C. S. Lewis, Letters To Malcolm
