You can wait all week for Friday, all winter for summer, a lifetime for happiness, or you can love life one precious day after another #life
God’s gift was not a spirit of timidity, but the Spirit of power and love, and self-control. With complete confidence we pray:
– Father, send us your Spirit. #lauds
A púre heart creáte for me, O Gód,
put a stéadfast spírit withín me.
Do not cást me awáy from your présence,
nor depríve me of your hóly spírit.
Give me agáin the jóy of your hélp;
with a spírit of férvour sustáin me, #lauds
Praise the Lórd for hé is góod;
sing to our Gód for hé is lóving:
to hím our práise is dúe. #lauds

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In his great mercy, he gave us new birth into a living hope by his Son’s resurrection from the dead. To him we pray:
– Father, give us your strength. #lauds
Take away our pride, temper our anger:
may we follow you in your gentleness: may you make us humble of heart.
– Stay with us, Lord, on our journey. #lauds

Since we are living stones in the temple of Christ’s body, let us pray to the Father for his beloved Church and profess our faith in her.
– This is the house of God and the gate of heaven. #lauds
O Lord, give us the spirit of prayer and praise:
let us always and everywhere give you thanks.
– We praise you, O God: we acknowledge you to be the Lord. #lauds
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est, a sentiment quite fair
Charity and loving in all our living, make the perfect pair.
