Merciful Father, many days pass quietly
without celebration or recognition,
yet You see every act of love done in secret.
Bless our ordinary labors, our conversations,
our sacrifices, and our prayers.
Teach us to serve without complaint
and to persevere when holiness feels difficult.
May every unnoticed act of kindness
become an offering pleasing to You.
Let us remember that even the smallest faithful deed
shines brightly before Your throne.
Amen.
Columban Daily Prayer
Grace for the Hidden Day
