DAY 2
MORNING PRAYER
St. Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa) often reminded people that each of us is unique, and each has our own contribution to make. Mother Teresa often said, "I cannot do what you do, and you cannot do what I do, but together we can do something beautiful for God." Let’s pray that each of us makes good use of our talents and that we set out to work well with others.
Lord,
You have enriched our lives
in many ways,
and we remember with
thanksgiving
all who have loved, cared
for, and supported us over the years.
Show us how best to use the time and talents you have given each of us,
and lead us to grow in appreciation of the contribution others make.
May your Spirit empower us
to work well with others
and bring out the best in
those with whom we share our lives.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen
