3. Opening Prayer LORD, my God and my loving Father
You have made me to know You, to love You, to serve You,
And thereby to find and fulfill myself.
I know that You are in all things,
And that every path can lead me to You
But of them all, there is one especially
By which You want me to come to You.
Since I will do what You want of me,
I pray You, send Your Holy Spirit to me:
Into my mind, to show me what You want of me;
Into my heart, to give me the determination to do it,
And to do it with all my love, with all my mind,
And with all my strength right to the end. Amen.
