Prayers for every day

Ask for attentive eyes · For peace at home

Lord, here I am before you, bringing this day as it truly is.

Today I place this path in your hands: for peace at home.

Give me attentive eyes to recognize your presence in small things.

May my prayer become care for someone and peace wherever I am.

Through Jesus, our brother and Lord. Amen.

A gesture for today

  3. Offer one concrete act of care without seeking recognition.

To remain a little longer

God also dwells in small things

You do not need to solve everything now. In “for peace at home,” offer only the next possible step. Francis called creatures sisters and brothers because he learned to receive life as relationship, not possession. Let this prayer return you to what is simple, true, and near.
