Praying Each Day in May

[MajestyJo]

“We all have ideals, and as we have grown
up we have the choice whether to pursue
them or to give them up. If we pursue them
we may not attain them. At times we may
wonder whether there is any point in the
pursuit, because of the sacrifices involved.

“We need to strive to achieve more and
more, not for purely selfish motives, but
because of the recognition of some higher
purpose. The aim is to move with the greatest
possible freedom towards the realisation
of the best within us. This is the quest
of a lifetime, and sport plays only a small
part in it.”

Let us pray:

Lord, each of us
has different talents and abilities.
We ask you to inspire us
to discover and develop
the best within us.
Lead us to be
both humble and generous
in praising others
for the good use of their talents.
Amen.
