DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER
In the Gospels, Jesus tells us a parable of the talents, which asks us to use the natural talents that God has given each of us. We may not be able to do great things, but we can all do little things to make this world a better place. Think about the things you are good at and challenge yourself to make the world better.
Loving God,
Thank you for the talents you have given each and every one of us.
May we be
inspired to use them
to make our
community a better place.
Through Christ
our Lord,
Amen
