St. Francis Weekly Email February 27 to March 3

2/27/2023

 

Dear St. Francis of Assisi students and families,
 
Prayer
God of the hungry times, God of the difficult times,
God of all the times of our lives, we need to talk.
Sometimes it’s difficult to understand the direction we need to go.
With all the choices we have in our lives, sometimes we’re not sure
when to say “yes,” or when to say “no.”
So we ask for your guidance. We ask for wisdom. We ask for Spirit.
In our worship, in our work, in our choices, in our lives.
May it be so, loving God!
Amen.
