Opening Prayer
Loving One, may your peace flow through every part of us. May your peace grow and increase, and let it shape the lives of all human beings. When fears multiply and danger threatens, it is Your peace that sustains us and upholds us. Your peace lightens our burdens, restores our strength, and renews our hope. Your presence is our peace. Amen.
Flowers of the Forest by Mike Oldfield shortened
Reading from the Gospel of Luke
Jesus said: “Don’t worry about your life and what you are to eat. Don’t worry about your body and what you are to wear. For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Take a lesson from the ravens. They don’t sow or reap. They have neither a food cellar nor a barn, yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable are you than birds? Can any of you, for all your worrying, add a single hour to your life? If even the smallest things are beyond your control, why worry about all the rest?"
"Notice how the flowers grow. They neither labor nor weave, yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was robed like one of these! If that is how God clothes the grass in the field, which is there today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, how much more will God look after you."

Closing Night Prayer
Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, All things pass away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
He who has God finds he lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.
(Found in the breviary of St. Teresa of Avila at the time of her death.)
