Almighty Father, strong is your justice and great is your mercy. Protect us in the burdens and challenges of life.

Prayer for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time

I have found my peace, for I have found you, O God.
God, my heart is not filled with pride, nor do my eyes seek to see beyond my means;
I do not possess anything of greatness, nor things beyond my reach.
I am still and quiet, as a mother holds her child.

I have found my peace, for I have found you, O God.

Adapted from Psalm 131 by David Haas
