A Prayer for Ordinary Time

/in /by

God of the Journey,
You are with us in the rhythms of our days:
dishes to wash, beds to make, emails to send,
meals to cook, games to play, people to visit,
snow to shovel, deliveries to make, prayers to pray.
Draw our hearts to be attentive
to where you are in these regular rhythms.

God of the Journey,
You are with us in the standout moments of our days:
baptisms, weddings, funerals,
birthdays, anniversaries, reunions,
engagements, promotions, retirements.
Draw our hearts to be attentive
to where you are in these extraordinary rhythms.

God of the Journey,
You are with us in the journey all the days of our life
on a weekday, weekend, high day or a low day
for you are our hope.
We are pilgrims with our compass set to you
draw our hearts to be attentive
to where you are in this Ordinary Time.
Amen.
