Isaiah said, “Seek the Lord, that he may be found. Call upon him while he is near.”

‘My Lord, I seek you now, that I may find you in the eternal glory of this night, that your soul may speak to my soul. United in us, as one, that I may be consumed by your loving mercy and strengthened with the hope of your passion and resurrection.

My Lord, my God, watch over and protect my family while I am away. Take care of their hearts. See that they remain united in your love always. For me, the family is everything. And mother once said that love is fulfilled in the family and life begins in the family. So may we live this love and life in the spirit of the family abundantly.

I rejoice, I rejoice in you. Take me as you desire, my Lord, and lead me in the hope of your love this day, to do your will, to be obedient and kind, to be loving and charitable, to understand those who are misunderstood. Give to me their hearts. Lead me in all things in your mercy.

I love you. Fill me, overfill my cup with your loving mercy, that it may overflow with love for others. May the glory of your light that now shines upon me, pure and white, purify me that I may raise my hands to heaven, touching souls who are in need of your mercy.’
