Morning Prayer

From behind the clouds the morning sun appears, and light begins to shine on a new day.
God for the Covenant, I am glad to be able to start today, a new task,

to start all over again, in health and good spirits.

I bless you, my God, for the great will to live,

and because you accompany me, guide me, direct my steps, and give me faith.
I am grateful to you for the miracles we discover at each moment that help us to live

and to use the works of your creation.

Praised be you, my Lord, for this new day that is born.
Give me your help and guidance.
Guide me with your inspiration,benevolence, and blessing.
Help me to fulfill my duties,and to achieve my aims.
May your light, the divine light, continue to shine upon me.
May this new day be for me and for everyone another day of your glory
and a day of peace and happiness.

Amen.

 

Evening Prayer

Another day ends and the lights go out.
Night testifies to the greatness of your creation.
Blessed are you, Father of the Universe,
      for the curiosity you awakened in me,
      for the daring plans, for the will power,
      and for the light that shone on my ways.
Blessed are you, King of the Universe,
      guide of those who worship you
      and place in you their trust
      and unwavering faith in the destiny
      that you hold in store for us.
Today, as always, I thank you,
      my Father, my Lord and Creator of the Universe,
      for another day of struggle and accomplishments,
      for the difficult hours and passing worries.
Blessed are you, Lord and Protector,
      who has lit our ways and kept us courageous,
      who has given us another opportunity
      to close with credit the balance sheet of this day.
The stars remind us of your infinite power,
      and the quietness of the night
      witnesses to the majesty of your silence.

Amen.

 

Prayer of Thanks for Friends

 I want to thank you, Gracious Lord,
    for the good friends you give me;
    they are for me a priceless bounty.
Thanks to them, friendship is neither an abstraction,
    nor a distant, almost impossible, dream.
I owe to your providence, Lord,
    the possibility of counting on
    the constant help of friends.
Between me and them you have formed a solid bridge,
    which can withstand all threats of destruction.
The happiness with which you have blessed us
    enables us to enrich one another.
Lord, there was something astonishing,
    almost mysterious,
    in the way I met my friends;
    it was always outside the expected pattern.
But you alone know the reasons
    that drew us closer together.
This surprise and joy are refreshing,
    and I experience them anew
    at every step of my life.
Not all proved to be steadfast friends,
    but I have to thank you
    for the faithful ones.
I promise to do everything in my power
    to deserve this precious gift
    that you have reserved for me.
I ask you, Gracious Lord, to keep them safe in your hands,
    for they are yours above all.
Amen.
