"Dear, loving Father, we pray for those who bow down to gods of wood and stone, of silver and gold. Show them their error before their lives become hardened and fixed. May the nations who do not know our Savior hear his blessed words of invitation, and trust him for salvation. In his name. Amen."

(February 29)

"Our loving Father, we thank you that Jesus Christ is the Light of the world. Help us to walk in that light. May no artificial brilliancy take us from the great sunshine of eternal light. May we know that artificial light causes black shadows. May we walk in the true light. For Christ's sake. Amen."

"Early in our lives, dear Lord, may we learn to deny ourselves for you. May nothing which we value in earthly gifts and possessions keep us from following you day by day. Save your Church from the love of money by filling it with the love of God, that we may all know that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Amen."
