THIS WEEKEND

PRAYER FOR GUIDANCE & WISDOM

FR. TEILO M. LWANDE, AJ

Jesus, we love you and want to follow you always.
Thank you for giving us a sense of belonging.
We are grateful for the gift of life and the parents, family, friends and parish members.

Thank you for giving us intellect, desires, and free will. May these gifts be used to love you and those around us.

We pray that you may continue giving us
the strength and courage

to be Good shepherds and that we may get inspired by your word and inspire others to be good shepherds like you by the way we lead our lives.

Jesus, you know our joys, pains, and struggles. Help us avoid temptations brought by our desires and prevent us from making wrong moral choices.

Guide us to watch out for those who may point us in the wrong direction.

Grant us the wisdom to use our free will to make the right moral choices that bring us closer to you.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
