Take Time to Step Back From Our Hectic Lives
OPENING PRAYER A prayer of silence and listening and patience ... O Lord, I offer you this moment of silence. faith and flowers This moment is for You. I consent to Your action In my mind and in my heart In my will and in my soul. I welcome Your action! And to prepare myself, to make room for You, I will sit here, quietly, with my eyes closed, In an attitude of peaceful rest and loving devotion, My intent is to welcome You. I will slow down my thoughts and my imagination, I will calm down my fears and my emotions, I will try to exercise patience and humility And I offer you these feeble efforts… I lift up my soul to You, Whispering in my heart and in my mind, "Here I am! Quiet but attentive to You" Amen.
