Take Time …
Take time to think …
It is the source of power.
Take time to play …
It is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to laugh …
It is the music of the soul.
Take time to pray …
It is the greatest power on Earth.
(Words written on the wall of the Missionaries of Charity children’s home, Calcutta, India)
Prayer…
Almighty God, we thank you
for planting in us the seed of your Word.
By your Holy Spirit,
help us to receive it with joy,
and live according to it,
that we may grow in faith and hope and love;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever. Amen.
