Heavenly Father,
I come before You with a humble and open heart, seeking Your divine charity and guidance. Lord, You are the source of all grace and compassion, and I ask that You fill me with the light of Your love so that I may be a living testament to Your goodness.
Lord, Your Word reminds us in Ephesians 2:8-9 that it is by grace we have been saved, through faith—and this not from ourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. Help me remember that Your grace is unearned and freely given, a reflection of Your boundless love and mercy.
God of compassion, I ask that You guide me in my interactions, so that I may extend Your charity to all those around me. Allow me to see others through Your eyes, to understand their struggles and pain, both physical and emotional. Grant me the wisdom to offer help where it is needed, to speak words of comfort and encouragement, and to act with kindness and humility.
As Jesus taught us in Matthew 25:35-40, when we offer compassion and support to others, we are serving You: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” May this teaching resonate deeply within me, urging me to be Your hands and feet in this world.
Loving Father, I ask for strength and courage to face my own vulnerabilities with grace. Help me to be patient with myself and others, and to understand that everyone’s journey is unique. Provide me with the resilience to overcome my own difficulties, and in turn, to offer support to those who are struggling.
In times of sorrow and joy, let Your Spirit of grace be ever present in my heart, guiding my actions and thoughts. Allow Your love to flow through me, unconditionally and abundantly, touching the lives of those around me.
Lord, I trust in Your infinite wisdom and compassion. I am grateful for Your guidance, and I thank You for the many blessings You have bestowed upon me. May I always walk in the path of Your grace, sharing Your divine charity with the world.
In Jesus’ name, I pray.
Amen.
