The Start of Summer

MY SUMMER BLESSING

Walk along beside me, Jesus,
as I begin the months of Summer.

As I work, play, enjoy family time and friendships,
may I hear your voice within me, guiding me toward
all that is right and good.
Give me faith in your presence, knowing that you
walk beside me in everything I do.

Gracious and loving Jesus,
thank you for the gift of Summer.

May the warmth of its sun and the beauty of its light
remind me daily of your love for me. Amen.

Prayer for Canada
Loving Father,
Bless our country, its people and its leaders.
Make our homeland one of peace and security.
Instill in us, a sense of charity toward the less fortunate and a respect for life.
Help us to grow closer to you as a nation.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
