Tomorrow is the Day!

Just one more day and the 10 month wait to go to Ireland is over!  This might be a good day to get ready for the trip! One more day of work and one more evening meeting and my bags will get packed!

Don't forget to put in your bags:
     A gentle heart
     An easy going spirit
     An inquiring mind
     A desire for adventure
     Openness to encounter God!


From J. Philip Newell:

In the silence of our hearts or in spoken words
let us give thanks for the gift of this day
and pray for the life of the world....

(offer your own prayers)

Grant us open hearts, O God,
open to you
and open to one another,
open to the splendour of the earth
and open to its pain and the pain of its people.
Grant us open hearts, O God.
