Weekly Prayer
Lord, please help me to take measure In ways that You will bless. If things haven’t gone just as I planned, Help me see Your answer to, “What’s next?” For Your plan is eternal, Beyond my wildest hopes and dreams. Now that I have come this far, Please be my guide on the road before me. Amen. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us.
