We were created to live lives of love, and even though so many things in life are pulling us away, we can practice quieting the other noises to become fully present and tuned to the loving voice of God.

"Help me to journey beyond the familiar

and into the unknown.

Give me the faith to leave old ways

and break fresh ground with You.

Christ of the mysteries, I trust You

to be stronger than each storm within me.

I will trust in the darkness and know

that my times, even now, are in Your hand.

Tune my spirit to the music of heaven,

and somehow, make my obedience count for You."

– Prayer of St Brendan
