Gracious and ever-loving God, help me to seek you, to learn from you, to know you. I so often get caught up in my thoughts, my daily routine, and my circle of friends and family that I forget about everything else. Remind me of the Big Picture: others around me who I do not see.
Open my mind and heart to their needs and burdens.M ay I tend to others as sisters and brothers.
Broaden my view and understanding of the world around me. May I tend to the earth as a steward.
Help me to see others and the world with your eyes - your view becoming more loving and forgiving; patient and kind.
I pray that each day I grow to be ever more faithful to the teachings and life of your Son. I humbly ask all this through Jesus Christ your Son, in union with the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
