with all that is happening around the world today, we need an aidan inspired prayer...found in david adam's book : flame in my heart (st. aidan for today)

open my eyes to your presence
open my ears to your call
open my heart to your love.
may i open my arms to others
may i open my heart to strangers
may i open my door to callers
that i may be open to you, lord,
open this day and forever more.
p. 27

today, let's pray for our neighbors in the gulf states...
for hope, health, energy and safety.
let us pray for grateful hearts... to be grateful for everything we have from water to a roof
and let us strive to be compassionate and giving to all we meet and to those in pain around the globe.
amen.
