Heavenly Father, Walk with me today and grant that I may hear your footsteps, And gladly follow wherever they lead. Talk with me today and grant that I may hear your tender voice and quicken. Stay with me today to its counsel, and grant that I may feel your gentle presence in all I do or say and think. Be my strength when I weaken, my courage when I fear. Help me to know it is your hand holding mine through all the minutes of all the hours of this day. And when night falls down, grant that I may know that I am gathered to your sacred Heart to sleep in love and peace. ~ Amen
