Nudging Prayer

Lord, it is hard sometimes to believe that you are really present in this world of ours.

But I do believe it, Lord!

Please help me live my life in such a way that it will be easier for others to recognize you.

When I find doubt, help me bring a little light.

Where I find discouragement, let me be a ray of hope in the darkness.

To those who feel estranged and alienated from you and your Church, let me be as a bridge.

When I meet those who have been hurt or feel misunderstood, help me leave only the imprint of your healing love and compassion.

Lord, wherever I go and to whomsoever I meet, help me be an instrument of your peace. Amen.

Sr. Bernice Kuper, S.P.
