Heavenly Father,

Help us see the world in a deeper way
like Brigid of Kildare,
who marveled in your creation
and cared deeply for nature and animals.

In our busy world, sometimes
we miss the miracles of nature.

Help us see.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

A prayer inspired by the life of Ita.

Heavenly Father,
Ita gave her life in service to you
by raising boys
in the school she founded.

Empower me
to see and serve
those you want me to serve
with the same kind love and commitment.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
