Laura,
Thank you for a well thought out homily with much practical advice about people’s daily lives. Several of your observations have been helpful to me in preparing my own homily for this Sunday.

Thank you.
PRAYER
I knelt and prayed for guidance
Not sure what I should do
In my hour of desolation
I could only think of you
You’ve been there every morning
You’ve helped me come to see
That even in my weakness
You’ll always stand with me
In your mercy and your kindness
I’ve been safe as safe can be
Not fully understanding
The gifts you’ve given me
You are my ray of sunshine
That helps me find my way
It’s your grace and your compassion
That protects me day by day
In you I find the reason
For every breath I take
The answer to the riddle
For every choice I make
Please help me in my emptiness
When I don’t know what to do
Please help me to remember
I can always count on you
Lead me in your kindness
In your truth and in your grace
Help me stand in wonder
In your holy, sacred place
Touch me with your holiness
Help me come to see
The most special gift you’ve given
Is that with me you’ve come to be
