Take a breather in the middle of your day. Spend time with God and put the troubles of your day in perspective.

Midday Prayer:

God, come to my assistance.
 — Lord, make haste to help me.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
 — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia.

Matthew 6: 27-34

“Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? 

Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin, 

yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. 

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?

“Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ 

For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. 

Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.

Psalm  139

Silence

The Lord’s Prayer

Lord, Grant me strength and grace for the remainder of this day.  

Be merciful to me, Lord, that I may bring Your mercy to all those whom I encounter today. 

Grant me patience and peace, that I may listen to the promptings of Your Spirit, and move in humble obedience to Your will. 

Grant this through Jesus Christ Our Lord. 

Amen.
