I Arise and Greet the Day


                Some mornings I get up knowing there is nothing that cannot be fixed by the dawning of a new day.  Yesterday was fraught with phone calls and decisions and running about.  This morning as I complete to morning rituals of showering and preparing breakfast all of the pieces fall into place. How could I have missed this thought yesterday?
     
          This is captured  by the picture above and one of my favorite hymns from the Liturgy of the Hours.  This song has been ascribed to St. Patrick:           
I sing as I arise today!
I call upon my Creator’s might:
The will of God to be my guide,
The word of God to be my speech,
The hand of God to be my stay,
The shield of God to be my strength,
The path of God to be my way,
O Father, this we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, Your only son,
Whom in the Spirit we adore:
One God who reigns forevermore.
Amen
My prayer for all is that this is your experience as well.  Blessings, Pam
