Prayer

Almighty and merciful God, in your goodness keep us, we pray, from all things that may hurt us, that we, being ready both in mind and body, may accomplish with free hearts those things which belong to your purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer)

Reflection

Psalm 16

You reveal to me the path of life—
not a narrow track but a vast unfolding,
where every step breathes with the pulse of your presence.
It’s a journey not marked by mere movement,
but by the deep knowing of where I am going—
a path bright with clarity,
even when shadows linger at the edges.
