​​Prayer for June 2025

 

Teach us, Lord, not to despise the things of earth

 or

 separate ourselves into a holy huddle.

 

Help us to follow you in

• the narrow way,

• the hum-drum task,

• the fickleness of people,

• life’s trials, misunderstandings and strife.

Let us

• dive fully into life,

• grasp its passing opportunities

and

• make good use of the time we have.

 

Help us

• to bear the fret of care,

• to keep constant in the face of disappointment and failure.

• to play our part in the life of our times,

• to think clearly,

• to act kindly, do justly, help the needy, comfort the sick,
  and care for the dying.

Help us always to make someone glad that we passed their way.

 

And keep us, Father, in the way, to the end.
