Salpointe Weekly Peek - November 4, 2022

Happy Friday, Lancers!
 
This week’s prayer is from Fr. Edgar, O.Carm.:
Lord God, whose days are without end and whose mercies are beyond counting, keep us mindful that life is short and the hour of death is unknown. Let your Spirit guide our days on earth in the ways of holiness and justice, that we may serve you in union with the whole Church, sure in faith, strong in hope, perfected in love. And when our earthly journey is ended, lead us rejoicing into your kingdom, where you live forever and ever. Amen. Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Pray for us.
