Through this beautiful prayer, Father Parent lets us intimately hear the beating of his heart for the Lord who is all.
Let's make his beautiful prayer our own.

Lord, I sense you close to me.
You are my refuge, the calm within me,
You illuminate my mind with your wisdom,
You inspire me with your hopes,
You infuse my very being with your strength and energy.

Enveloped in the awareness of your presence,
I feel myself flowing into you,
held in your gentle embrace,
assured and at peace,
willing to embrace whatever you ask of me.
Your ear inclined to me,
you heed the whispers of my heart.
As I pay more and more attention
to what you make me experience,
I am prepared to follow you unconditionally.

Lord, you are my support, my rock,
my oasis, my strength, my generosity,
my ardour, even my audacity.
I’ve always relied on you,
I’ve never stopped trusting you,
You’ve always been my dominant thought.

Before acting, I always consulted you.
Your thoughts and memories have consistently guided me,
aligning my actions.
Your breath remains the secret of your works,
Thank you, Lord!
Amen

Prayer, Father Louis-Marie Parent, O.M.I.
