Lord,thank You for everything. I begin this prayer in gratitude, recognizing that my life is surrounded by Your goodness, even when I do not fully understand it. During this week, I place all my intentions before You. I unite them with every Mass that will be celebrated in the world....Before I ask for anything, I ask for mercy. I do not come because I deserve, but because You are merciful. Like Abraham who said, “Lord, do not be angry, but let me speak once more,” I come with humility.Forgive what has fallen short in my thoughts, words, and actions,and help me to walk more faithfully with You. My heart is full of gratitude beyond words. You have provided again and again, often in ways I could not have imagined. Blessings multiply where I least expect them, and for this I give You thanks.... Lord, You know the desires of the human heart. You hear every honest longing, every quiet hope. I ask for divine breakthroughs and right opportunities, for open doors aligned with Your will, and for Your favor, peace, and provision to rest upon my life. Grant stability, wisdom, humility, and joy. Let my words bring peace to others, and let peace return to me through them. Surround me with Your protection. ... I ask this through the intercession of St.Anthony. In Jesus Name I pray !
