by Bishop Michael J. Sis
Lord, thank you for my gifts and talents.
All that I am, and all that I have, is a gift from you.
Open my eyes to see the needs of the world around me.
You have given me only one life to live.
Show me what you want me to do with this life.
Help me to overcome my fears and my feelings of inadequacy.
Help me to trust that you will never ask anything of me
that you will not also give me the grace and strength to carry out.
Here I am, Lord, send me.
