Lord, help me wash away all my selfishness and vanity, so I may serve you with perfect humility through the week ahead.

Dear Lord, help me iron out all the wrinkles of prejudice I have collected through the years so that I may see the beauty in others.

O God, help me mend my ways so I will not set a bad example for others.

Lord Jesus, help me to dust out all the many faults I have been hiding in the secret corners of my heart.

O God, give me the grace to shop wisely so I may purchase eternal happiness for myself and all others in need of love.

Help me, my Saviour, to brew a big kettle of brotherly love and serve it with clean, sweet bread of human kindness.

O God, I have prepared my house for you. Please come into my heart as my honoured guest so I may spend the day and the rest of my life in your presence.
