Reflection

“Nothing is far from God.” ~ Saint Monica

Prayer

Eternal and ever-living God,

Even if we do not always feel it is so, we know in our hearts you are never far away. We trust in your presence with us, and your support of us, always. Strengthen us in mind and heart that we may never doubt your love for us and keep us ever mindful of your Holy Spirit within us. May the example and great faith of St. Monica help us persevere during hard times and renew our efforts to be your presence in the lives of others. We make this prayer in the name of the Lord who is with us
always. Amen.
