Augustine of Hippo
God of our life, there are days when the burdens we carry chafe our shoulders and weigh us down, when the road seems dreary and endless, the skies gray and threatening, when our lives have no music in them and our hearts are lonely, and our souls have lost their courage.
Flood the path with light, we beseech thee; turn our eyes to where the skies are full of promise; turn our hearts to brave music; give us the sense of camaraderie with heroes and saints of every age; and so lift up our spirits that we may be able to encourage the souls of all who journey with us on the road of life. We offer you our praise and thanks. Amen.
