Prayer of a Single Person

Eternal God,
from my mother's womb
you have known and loved me
more than I can ever know.

I ask for the courage to live a holy life,
that your hand guide my decisions....

I ask for the wisdom
to know your will for me,
and like our Blessed Mother,
I ask for the strength to say yes.

May I find you in every person I meet,
and may my life
so shine forth your goodness and love
that each person may be led to you
through Jesus, your Son,
who is Lord, forever and ever.

Amen.
