A Prayer for Today

Almighty God,
you have generously
made known to human beings
the mysteries of your life
through Jesus Christ your Son
in the Holy Spirit.
Enlighten my mind
to know these mysteries
which your Church treasures and teaches.
Move my heart to love them
and my will to live in accord with them.
Give me the ability
to share this faith with others
without pride, without ostentation,
and without personal gain.
Let me realize
that I am simply your instrument
for bringing others
to the knowledge of the wonderful things
you have done for all your creatures.
Help me to be faithful to this task
that you have entrusted to me. Amen.
- St. Charles Borromeo
