Hi God,
I’m thinking about saints today.
Saints like my mother,
and my father-in-law,
both of whom have pretty much run their courses,
and saints like the people on the search committee,
and those special people who baked
those wonderful cookies for yesterday’s coffee hour.
In one way or another,
these saints have been blessings in my life.
I thank you for their lives
and for your bringing them into my own.
Please guard and watch over them
so that they can continue
to do your work in this world,
but also so that they can know
how much we need and appreciate their efforts.
Also, please have mercy on my soul
sinner though I be.
Amen
