Dear Jesus,
Some days seem kind of blah,
little accomplished, even the usual things.
Yet they were gifts, maybe ill-used
but nevertheless gifts.
Thank You for the opportunity.
Maybe tomorrow will be better.
What is most important is Your
faithful presence even in the humdrum.
Amen.

Dear Jesus,
Help me to become a more welcoming person.
At times, distractions, worries and fears get in the way
of appreciating others with their own joys and needs.
I may see them as an interruption or problem rather than as a person.
When I truly welcome them and give them my time, attention
and care, our relationship can blossom.
Guide me in Your way.
Amen.

Amen.
