This is one of my favorite Christian prayers, which a friend just reminded me of today. I think about the second line often.

I’m off to sunny Disneyland for the weekend with two nieces and two nephews, all under the age of six, including Mani’s son. Life moves on, and yet every time I look at him I am reminded.

Have a beautiful weekend!

St. Theresa’s Prayer

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom
to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
