Prayer
Prayer to St. William
St. William, you were a father to your monks
and a shepherd to your people.
Pray for us that we might have
our sight restored -- that we might
see with the eyes of our hearts and
souls, God's presence in and around us.
Teach us to nourish our
spiritual journeys with prayer so
that we too might be instruments of God's light and love to others.
In the spirit of St. Benedict help us to be people of hospitality who
let our work become prayer.
Let us find God in each other.
Amen.
