Women’s Guild Prayer
Keep us, O Lord from all pettiness;
Let us be large in thought, in word and in deed.
Let us be done with fault finding and
leave off all self seeking.
May we put away all pretense and meet each other
face to face without self pity and
without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judgement and always
be generous.
Let us take time for all things, and make us grow
calm, serene, and gentle.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses,
straight forward and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize that it is the little
things of life that create differences, that
in the big things in life, we are one.
And, O Lord God, let us not forget to be kind.
Amen.
Msgr. John P. Murphy
