Heavenly Father,
As we begin this new week on this Monday morning, we turn our hearts towards you in prayer, seeking inspiration and guidance from your Word and the example of Saint Anselm.
In the Gospel of John (10:1-10), Jesus speaks of himself as the Good Shepherd, who leads his sheep to safety and abundance. Lord, help us to recognize your voice amidst the noise of the world, and to follow you faithfully along the path of righteousness.
Like Saint Anselm, who sought to deepen his understanding of you through prayer and contemplation, may we too strive for a deeper intimacy with you. Grant us, Lord, the wisdom to seek you with all our hearts, and the humility to surrender our will to yours.
As we go about our day, may we be mindful of your presence with us, guiding and protecting us at every turn. Help us to trust in your providence and to rest securely in your love.
Lord, we offer you our work, our joys, and our challenges, asking that you would bless and sanctify them for your glory. May everything we do be done with love and dedication, reflecting the light of your presence in our lives.
In your holy name we pray, Amen.
