“Grant us a vision, Lord,      To see what we can achieve      To reach out beyond ourselves      To share our lives with others      To stretch our capabilities      To increase our sense of purpose      To be aware of where we can help      To be sensitive to your Presence      To give heed to your constant call.”

“I also learned that prayer is not as much about getting God to act in certain ways as it is about getting to the heart of God and getting my heart to reflect His heart.”

“Grant us a vision, Lord,      To see what we can achieve      To reach out beyond ourselves      To share our lives with others      To stretch our capabilities      To increase our sense of purpose      To be aware of where we can help      To be sensitive to your Presence      To give heed to your constant call.”
