Gracious God,
Open the door to my soul.
Bring me peace and perspective.
May I learn to be at home with myself.
May I extend a hospitable welcome to your indwelling spirit.
Open the door to my heart and grace me with compassion and understanding.
May I see with the eyes of Christ all of those I am called to catechize.
Open the door to my mind and soften my thoughts.
May I make room for both ideas and imagination, ever aware that knowledge is a gift of the spirit.
Give me a joyful heart, soul, and mind, so that I may with others the great news of salvation and redemption.
Through your son, Jesus Christ, I pray these words and ask for your divine help.
AMEN.
(Adapted from a prayer from SADLER RELIGION.)
