Gracious and Holy Father,

Give us wisdom to perceive you

Intelligence to understand you

Diligence to see you

Patience to wait for you

Eyes to behold you

A heart to meditate on you

And a life to proclaim you,

Today’s Reflection: A Graduation Prayer

Loving God
I have knowledge, so will You show me now
how to use it wisely and find a way
somehow
to make the world I live in a little better place,
and make life
with its problems
a little bit easier to face.

Grant me faith and courage
and put purpose in my days,
and show me how to serve you
in effective ways.
So my education, my knowledge and my skill
may find their true fulfillment
as I learn to do your will.

And may I ever be aware in everything I do,
that knowledge comes from learning,
and wisdom comes from you. Amen –  Marquette University prayer site

Today’s Reflection: Serenity Prayer (Complete version)

O God, grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference;
living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as a pathway to peace;
taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will;
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. – Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)
