BLESSING OF THE DAY - May the God of Patience be with you, standing with you when you are anxious and hurried, bringing a new depth to your life and renewed vision of God. May you not be afraid of the questions that press in upon you. May you live those questions with an open trust and may God keep vigil with you as you enter the sacrament of waiting. May the blessing of Patience be on you. --Maxine Shonk, OP
