Here is my prayer from yesterday’s parish bulletin:
Saint Andre,
Welcome me at the threshold,
When I am lost.
Offer me tenderness and solace,
When I am tired.
Remind me I belong
When I am orphaned.
Guide me to Saint Joseph
When I am far from home.
Bring forgiveness to my heart
When I feel most unworthy.
Reveal Jesus’ healing touch
When I hurt and am alone.
Touch my pain,
When I wait to be healed.
Saint Andre Bessette, pray for us!
Blessings to you,
Fr. Ron
Thank you for helping us change our heart to become His Heart.
I subscribe to the ND Gospel reflections so I had the joy of reading this reflection twice today. I learned of him on a Gray Lines bus tour of Montreal and was very moved.
