If we look around us, we see how much the world needs blessings and peace. In these uncertain times, we often think of our families and loved ones.
Father Louis-Marie Parent, O.M.I., felt a deep need ask for grace for those we love, and with faith he wrote this prayer.
Let’s pray together.

Lord, not only do I want to give you thanks,
but I'd like to gather at your feet
all those you have entrusted to me
all over the world.

I'd like everyone to,
with their way of acting and thinking,
through their culture, according to the rhythm of their language,
praise you, bow down before you,
stand in your presence
and sing to you, with the ardour of a purified heart, the joys
to fulfill your wishes,
to recognize your generosity and profligacy
and the brilliance of your splendor.

Lord, I want to acclaim your glory,
spread your goodness, exult in gladness
at the thought of your mercy,
your wisdom, your tenderness.

I prostrate myself at your feet
to receive your blessing
that divinizes all those it reaches.
Amen

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