Guard Those I Love Today

In the silence of this dawn, the heart becomes attentive and opens to a day still hidden.

I offer the first light, with gratitude for the faces I love.

I entrust to you those I will meet on my path: grant peace and courage to those who are fragile or alone.

I caress with my thoughts those who carry secret pain, and those who will struggle today without being seen.

I place my family in your hands, so that it may grow in mutual trust and hope.

Sustain me when fatigue comes and illuminate my steps in the small gestures.

With trust, I let the day unfold, guarded by Your grace, and welcome whatever may come.

Amen. 🌿
