PRAYER CORNER

"Fear not because God is with you." ~ St. Padre Pio

Prayer for the Beginning of Autumn

O God of Creation, You have blessed us with the changing of the seasons. 
As we welcome the autumn months, 
may the earlier setting of the sun 
remind us to take time to rest. 
May the brilliant colors of the leaves 
remind us of the wonder of Your creation. 
May the steam of our breath in the cool air 
remind us that it is You who give us the breath of life.  
May the harvest from the fields remind us of the abundance we have been given and bounty we are to share with others.
May the ending of summer remind us of Your great promise that death is temporary and life is eternal.
We praise You for Your goodness forever and ever. 
Amen
