At the crossroads of our lives, you wait for us to invite us to choose life.
Lord, teach us to discern the paths of life just for today.
Open our minds to your discreet presence, when so many worries and
overwhelming news dominate our attention and dull our vigilance.
Touch our eyes so that they may see beyond the appearance of people and events.
Lighten our hearts of everything that binds us to ourselves, to our comfort, to our own interests,
and which stifles joy.
Grant us the grace to accept your invitation to love one another and to contribute to the happiness
that you desire for all living beings.
