Today's prayer
Tuesday morning prayer with the holy angels
Lord God, Monday is behind me and the week has found its pace. On this Tuesday morning I come to You not with the fresh energy of a beginning, but with the plain willingness to keep going. Take that willingness and make something of it. Thank You for the night, for the breath in my body, for the work that waits for me and the people who depend on me. Thank You for yesterday's small victories and for the mistakes You have already forgiven. This is the day of the angels. Holy guardian angel, you have been beside me since before I could speak; walk with me today. Keep my feet from stumbling, my tongue from wounding, my mind from wandering into fear. Saint Michael, defend me from the enemy's whispers. Saint Gabriel, help me hear what God is saying. Saint Raphael, heal what is hurting in me and in those I love. It is also the day of the Sorrowful Mysteries. Lord Jesus, if this Tuesday brings a share in Your cross, a hard conversation, a disappointment, a pain that will not lift, let me carry it beside You and not alone. And if it brings joy, let me notice and give thanks. Bless the people I will meet today: the ones I love, the ones who try my patience, the stranger who needs a kind word. Bring my family home safely tonight. Let this ordinary Tuesday, lived with You, become a holy one. Amen.
